Don't negative penalties encourage line breaks? No hyphenation is still
better than compound word hyphenation, no?
Yes, but all word compounds are also in the regular patterns, which
raises their penalties values to above zero.
Oh, missed that! Didn't I write, interdependency makes it more
difficult? ;-)
But my concern with hyphenation penalty cumulation is another one. Since
TeX does just penalty cumulation during paragraph breaking, too, there
can be interaction between hyphenations penalties across different words
of a paragraph, that, summing-up, can steer paragraph breaking into the
wrong direction (inferior solution).
Please keep thinking about an actual implementation.
Best wishes,
