As others have said, sometimes words have two meanings :) (There's a lady who knows...) and in this case there are both word-level and line-level orphans. For XSL-FO we added syllable-widows; I'm not sure this was good from an i18n point of view, however. There's also the ability to say whether the last line of a block is to be justified or set ragged if the line is too short. There are also syllable count minimum values for before and after a hyphen.
