I use S&H extensively and in most cases I am able to readily mitigate the 'halo' effect where significantly different tones collide. There are however times where it is impossible to fully correct the problem. The best solution that I have found so far is to use a parametric mask to allow the highlights to correctly render very close to the dark edges.
I think that the problem would be less difficult if S&H were broken into 2 modules and wonder if others might consider this a good idea. Before you ask: yes I am using the bilateral filter and adjusting the radius also the compression.
