Writer only knows the paragraph layout method "first fit", which is very much insufficient for a 
dedicated word processor. Especially when hyphenation is enabled this often results in too many 
hyphenated words. 

Handling more than the very basic first-fit strategy opens many opportunities, which should be 
customizable to the users wishes. There should be options to
- prefer "cheap" hyphenations (e.g. splitting "Silbentrennung" into "Silben-trennung" is nice and cheap)
- empty space and/or ink distribution
- enabling/disabling optical alignment options
- allowing alternate glyphs/styles
- forcing layout compatibility with older versions
etc.
