Hyphenator.js does …

not give you control over how many hyphens you'll have as endings on consecutive lines.
not eliminate misleading hyphenation like 'leg-ends' (depending on the pattern quality).
not work in Firefox 2 (but it works fine in Firefox >=3.0)
not handle special (aka non-standard) hyphenation (e.g. omaatje->oma-tje)

See a simple life example (resize window or click the button in the upper right corner).
