Well, I agree that feedbooks isn't giving you the same quality, but it doesn't offer nearly as many options as Prince allows. I expect there are some things, like math, it still won't do as well, since I don't see any sign of MathML (or similar) support, but I'll still be interested in what else it can do. For very simple, text-only, books, it may do as well as the other options we're considering, unless you really wow us with pacify when you get around to (X)HTML input...

Since I have HTML source of the Russell book as well, whose CSS I wrote and can edit, I'll try making a PDF with it using Prince when I get a chance and do some comparisons.

I think the hyphenation algorithm is the same as TeX's.

Unfortunately, grumble grumble, it wouldn't be as easy to install Prince on this computer as on my home computer, since they only offer a debian package for 32-bit linux, and I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu at the moment...
