Modification while hyphenation *is* already supported, notably in Hungarian. László Németh will no doubt respond to you here. See hunspell <http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/> and László's paper for TUGboat <http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/tb87nemeth.pdf>. I'm interested because I support a Java hyphenation module, HyFo <http://defoe.sourceforge.net/hyfo/hyfo.html> which also supports modification during hyphenation, and I need the definitions for Dutch, preferably both new and previous versions. I would much appreciate access to the hyphenation data you develop.
