The real problem lies in the extremely limited processor power available. Since readers need to conserve power, their processors are generally very poky and barely have enough grunt to lay out the page as it is.
I have a hard time believing that this particular function would require much processor resources at all. Heck, the sed program, which could handle something like this, dates to 1973.

I just hope that Adobe is working on a version of ADE with a full set of rendering improvements (smart typography, hyphenation to support smart justification with tracking adjustment, etc) that will make use of the increased power of the integrated single-chip solutions that are being developed.
From your lips (or fingertips) to God's (or Adobe's) ears!
