Has anyone successfully been able to implement hyphenation in any of the WebKit browsers? I’ve tried the CSS3 hyphenation style as well as -webkit-hyphens: auto. No dice for either of those. Or maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Note: I’ve only tried Safari and Chrome on a Mac.

Update: Code example

<html>
  <head>
    <style>
      div {
        -webkit-hyphens: auto;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
     <div style="width: 150px; border: solid 1px black;">
       <p>Anaideia, spirit of ruthlessness, shamelessness, and unforgivingness</p>
       <p>Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Antidisestablishmentarianism, Floccinaucinihilipilification, Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia</p>
     </div>
  </body>
</html>
