And that's not even mentioning that you're not having a machine solve the problem, which is what this is supposedly taking care of.

I find the thought of inserting at least 5 extra characters into every single multisyllabic word to be a ridiculously poor way of handling the problem. For one, it would make the HTML nearly unreadable due to the number of extra markups involved (not exactly a huge problem, but one that could certainly be a major nuisance to some). And let's not even think about what it would do to the filesizes.
