Of course, that latter, as you say, is a judgement call -- but as I said, I don't know too many people (if any) who think that more hyphenation is better, just because you (or the software) "can."  |
That's where I think you're limiting the scope of your efforts by focussing so much on preparing for a single platform. Most of us try to make something that renders the same no matter what appication or device you read it with. I have absolutely no issues with the built-in hyphenation algorithm in my preferred reading app. Never noticed it trying to hyphenate too much.
