+1. If people are using browsers that don't support hyphenation, then so be it. They will just get slightly more line-wrapping, that's all. No harm done. This is too tiny a detail to pay such a big price (slow loading, flashing, scrolling disruption, etc.) for. (I'm one of those people whose browsers don't support hyphenation. That doesn't make the site any less useful (I turned off JS on dlang.org because hyphenator.js is so annoying -- the only difference I noticed was that the site is significantly more usable that way). This is really a nice-to-have feature that doesn't deserve the price we're paying for it, not an indispensible feature.)
