As far as I can tell, it was never explicitly done and just depended
upon the calculation to put the hyphen there (perhaps by way of being
buggy).  There was a bit of commented-out code put in (by Tracy Llenos)
to force a hyphen if the first syllable consisted only of the initial,
but it was marked as a "bad idea" and never uncommented.

In my opinion, this is a stylistic decision, so maybe we implement a
"stylistic hyphen" in this case.  It would be switchable from TeX and
default to being enabled.  If we go this way, I wouldn't try to fix it
in 4.0.

Opinions?
