Some comments on UAX#14:

Interesting. I might be misremembering what I read in UAX#14 -- I
didn't look too closely, and it was a while ago. In any event, my
main point was that I don't think this is just a QoI issue, it should
really be specced.
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.
