I am considering implementing the probabilistic line breaking algorithm 
from R.R. Bouckaert (WEKA group) instead but not right now. See
http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/publications/2003/bouckaert-line-break.pdf
I'd be interested in your opinion on it.

Why didn't you implement the TeX algorithm, by the way?

We did! :-) The old maintenance branch (where FOP 0.20.5 came from) does
not implement the TeX line breaking algorithm. But FOP Trunk (0.91beta)
does. Our Wiki contains a lot of material in that direction. We're even
using Knuth's algorithm for page breaking now.
