Last night I remembered two more things that TeX can't do, but every
layout app can:
- text flow around other elements (images)
\parshape ?
I forword an email to the professor.
it discuss some of the points together with some examples.
\parshape is not enough for arbitary page layout.
\parshape can help for text flow around other elements, hence for
layout of a page.
What do you mean with
"\parshape is not enough for arbitary page layout" ?
There are other macros/ tools  for page layout
as otr for example.

- really working multiple-column layout
in context columnset with  two pass strategy
columnset cannot solve most of the problems:)
Do you have some examples ?

if you want advanced page layout justification, TeX is not sufficient.
What do you mean with advanced ?
Do you have som examples ?
