I posted the new approach patch to bug 389056.

The general breaking rule is not changed from previous patch. But the 
patch doesn't break at 'near' from start of word, end of word and 
previous breaking point in western language context.

'near' is defined as 6 characters now. Therefore, in Western word, never 
breaking at first 6 characters and last 6 characters. i.e., if a word is 
broken, it has 11 characters at least.

By this, the short (less than 6 characters) word part is not created. 
This helps readability in some cases. And I believe that most western 
language sentence doesn't break unnatural.
