Applying hyphenation to elements that will never wrap by default is suboptimal, but avoids running into a situation where a user might expect that everything is hyphenated by default but isn't when the default is overridden by a custom user-stylesheet or agent-stylesheet. We choose to be more user-friendly and go for the technically suboptimal solution.
