Follow-up Comment #2, bug #64501 (project groff):

[comment #1 comment #1:]

That's perfectly comprehensible, but "does not accurately support" is still
vague about what grohtml does or does not do with word breaking.

In general--and in contrast to every other output device groff supports--the
page layout for HTML will be done by software well outside groff's control, so
the user ought to be strongly encouraged to disable automatic hyphenation in
documents targeting HTML.
