Exactly. As I understand it, it's not about the line, but about the word break.

Just to clarify, syllables in English (and in French and Dutch) should not be broken if two letters or less would be left stranded on either line. Only a syllable made up of three or more letters should be broken.

I don't know if this style rule applies in other languages, so it would be great if users themselves could define the minimum number of letters in broken syllables.
