A good typesetting program like TeX minimizes the occurrence of broken words. The sample page the article linked to (http://readableweb.com/ala/booklook/lanhamvolatilehard.htm http://readableweb.com/ala/booklook/lanhamvolatilehard.htm) looks pretty awful to me, way too many hyphens. You don't see that many broken words in professionally typeset text.
