Needs an example file, because

   \defineXMLentity[addhyphen]{\-}
   \starttext
   \hsize 1in
   \startXMLdata
   I tried super&addhyphen;duper
   \stopXMLdata
   \stoptext

works in both mkii and mkiv.

That should work, but probably better is:
   \defineXMLentity[nolig]{\prewordbreak\kern0pt\postwordbreak}
because the \kern will disable hyphenation, otherwise.

In mkii, just
   \defineXMLentity[nolig]{{}}
also works (but not in mkiv, and that is a feature).

Best wishes,
Taco
