I share your views on that. IMO every user gets confused by the 
Preferences/Document Info mess.

Also Miscellenous should go. I was looking for "clip page to margins", 
another options which is to hard to find and causes an FAQ.

Any detailed comments on Orphans, Tracking and Hyphenation?
I'll try to work orphans and widows into the new layout engine, 
but what are your requirements to tracking and hyphenation?
