Unless you think we can come up with the perfect linebreak identification and prioritization algorithm (_especially_ prioritization), it seems like 100% a QoI issue. I'm fine with having informative text about this. I'm fine with having some normative requirements. But I'm not fine, for example, with a spec that either requires or forbids the use of the Knuth and Plass algorithm, say. -Boris
