The big feature with TeX's engine is that it works on the whole paragraph, rather than the simpler method of working only with a single line.
Using the TeX algorithm, one would still hopefully bring across the ability to use ligatures, interword spacing, character protrusions and maybe even font scaling, without which the TeX algorithm can tend to generate awful results because it gets pushed beyond its limits, however it tends to be these 'finer features' that make the system grind more so than the primary hyphenation algorithm.
I wonder also if the parameters would be user-configurable.
