JSWolf,
That is why I said as an **output** plugin. BTW, removing soft-hyphens is nothing more than a global find/replace. Furthermore it is trivial to make spellchecking in Sigil work with soft-hyphens by simply adding a decode routine that removes the & s h y ; soft hyphen before checking that word.
As for epub 3.1, it is a draft. Nothing supports it yet. It does not exist. But it may well be the future of many ebooks.
So yes a soft-hyphen output plugin is "reasonable" and easily "doable".
You can choose to use it or not. And most tablet based devices use web stacks now and they probably handle it just fine if based on a browser engine that already supports it.
