Notjohn, no, I've done the opposite. I put the instruction for no hyphens in the body tag, so that it applies to ALL styles. Then I turn hyphens back on for the few styles where I do want them. Those instructions go in the embedded CSS for each style in the document header or in the stylesheet. Since these instructions are more specific, they override the body tag instruction, even though they're read earlier.
Generally, I think hyphenation is a good idea for general text, especially when it's read in narrow columns like on a phone. But I don't want it for headings, tables of contents, verse, or a host of other specialized styles. The way I do it, it's off by default.
