Yes, but significantly limit places where it is unacceptable. And character 
spacing looks much better for me than 5% glyph extension.
And in preflight verifier should be warning (as switch-able option) for 
exceeded 
maximum space width.

For me extending glyphs is just ugly option at all, for you increasing char 
spacing is ugly - maybe there should be both methods used at once.
Effect will be stronger with smaller visual impact.

And for me that behaviour is not acceptable - automation wouldn?t create 
formatting errors like wrong hyphenation point!!!
But maybe remove hyphenation from last word of previous line would be correct 
and helpful.
