Ah, I interpreted JS's comment as another vote for false negatives vs. false positives. Using the document as a dict can't guarantee you'll remove every hyphen that should be removed, but it's an excellent technique to ensure that all the ones which are supposed to stay will stay.
@PeterT - While JS is often a perfectionist in certain things (like aspect ratio) saying JS wants perfection from his small input into this conversation seems akin to mind reading to me. We would all like perfection, but I interpreted JS's comment as another vote for false negatives vs. false positives too. As long as the wrong hyphens are not deleted, afterwards individual editing can deliver perfection.
