You used the CSS3 property "hyphens: none;"? ADE does not recognize that one (nor does the ePub 2.1 spec), add this: "adobe-hyphenate: none;" It works for me when I want to prevent hyphenation in titles or poetry.
(But with that selective enabling of hyphenation of certain words you are dangerously close to fixed-format, if you ask me...)

I wish I could do the exact same thing with my "olde" text, but it doesn't seem that I can! The problem, I can only assume, is that none of the longer, "problematic" words simply aren't in the built-in English dictionary (for example, "diſſapoyntmends", etc.), and the software just has no idea where/how to break the words -- and so it doesn't.

It would be more likely to work if you had use the normal "s". Still, the reader would have to have some hyphenation rules beyond the simple dictionary approach (such as it's allowed to break between t and m).
