--- Comment #1 from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org> ---
This makes sense in principle, as system language doesn't necessarily match content language. But there are quite a few features that default to system language. From the top of my head: default fonts and font fallback; quotes; spellchecker language; even default character encoding.

I think that preventing hyphenation when a language is not explicitly specified would be inconsistent and confusing.
