Presumably Microsoft Word quality hyphenation for English, or English and a few other major languages... or English hyphenation regardless of language.*
In other words... a broken product.
And the point of the hyphenation problem is that unknown words have the very real ability to break the software's ability to typeset things in a visually acceptable way. Not to mention that incorrect hyphenation of words is worse than no hyphenation at all.
Perhaps the chasm between PDF and reflow advocates is due to the latter camp caring about the quality of their eBooks far less than they are willing to admit.

* Will future eBook readers contain hyphenation patterns for all scripts and all languages? And no--please do not answer--this must be the stupidest rhetorical question I have asked in a long time.
