I haven't used FO, but I wouldn't think a break-at attribute would make design sense. By specifying a number like this, you get into the realm of dealing with the physical result in the FO code rather than the logical layout. For example, if formatting for a mobile phone, the FO processor may not have even 20 characters width to work with. It would seem to me that an attribute, pardon the length, more like allow-non-hyphen-break="on" (or whatever is the FO default for true/false attributes) would provide a less physical implementation. That way it would be possible to specify that the processor may break words at non-hyphenated points if required to fit the area provided. As I said, I haven't dealt with FO, so please accept my apologies if I'm way off base here.
