Well, okay, those (and the rest of your message) are certainly far more valid arguments against doing what I've been doing -- at least, better than merely saying that "aesthetically pleasing" is a judgement call
-- and if I were to just up and scrap it for all the various reasons given, both in my works-in-progress as well as also going back and removing it from my previous books...
well... have you got a brilliant regex script for me that will get
rid of every instance of <span class="hyph"></span> without getting rid of the words in-between, and not getting rid of any other spans, and then I'll just allow hyphenation everywhere, let the software do whatever it want (and which it does), willy-nilly all over the place?
Don't get me wrong, I'll take your (plural) advice, but I do actually think this totally, totally sucks. Of course, I also felt it sucked the other way, too, which compelled me to add in all that extra coding in the first place. :/
