Well, some style guides have clear rules when to use hyphens, so 
according to them, some of hyphens is a mistake. On the other hand, you 
can create a neologism containing a lot of terms that are 
words-containing-hyphens, and they would be correct. (Also, the 
style-guide rules [now using Chicago-manual-of-style hyphenation rule] 
could mark up such errors by themselves.)

Actually, we could try to mark the words as fine in the disambiguator 
(not necessarily by immunizing them - we could have something like 
"spelling immunization", or maybe we already have this feature? I don't 
remember right now), because they have a clear structure: "web-based" 
has NN+_+JJ structure, for example.
