i fear that would insert hyphens in all legal positions, not just all 
needed positions.
as i don't know really how the hyphenator works, might be wrong...
but my suspicion is it inserts the soft hyphens everywhere and the 
browser then splits the lines appropriately.

so we should try, but i'm not keeping my hopes up.
