Forgive me if this is impossible, or has been discussed and decided
upon -- I'm quite new to Scribus:

Has it been considered to implement the TeX hyphenation and line
breaking algorithms in Scribus?  Escpecially the hyphenation algorithm
is IMHO far superior to anything else I've seen.  With hyphenation
patterns that are readily available, it is even able to hyphenate
Norwegian almost 100% correctly, even though Norwegian contains lots
of compound words and generally has quite different hyphenation rules
than English.
