Oh, and incidentally, if you *care* whether "doLikeWordn.nn" works, ODF 
isn't going to work for you either. ODF doesn't say how to break lines 
(at least that I could find), so if you *need* the word breaking to be 
in this mode, you *can't* use Open Office or something like that. If you 
*don't* need the word breaking to be right, you can use some converter 
that ignores this flag.

Note this flag is irrelevant to writing a spell checker, a document 
indexer, etc as well, so the argument is kind of silly in that way, too.
