Not in my opinion:
- you have only one word in the line in LyX and end it with line-break
How will you show the difference? Ragging is in this case the same as justified within LyX, but not
in the output.
- you have 5 words in the line in LyX and end it with line-break
We can show the words ragged but the user might think this is also in the output, but perhaps it is
not because in the output the line break is identic with the end of line so you see nothing.
Having a different color and a suitable label works always.
But anyway, I don't know how to display ragged and it would be nice if somebody else can implement
it when he likes. I hope that the linebrek support can be kept in trunk anyway.
What about a better label name for now, proposals?

OK, but who knows about "floats"? They are not self-explaining - you have to read the manual until
you understand how they work. And what about the difference between wrap floats and "normal" floats
- you have to read the manual. That's how it works and those who only use C-Return won't notice the
new linebreak function. When they discover it, they will have a look in the docs or presumably just
try it out.
