This is hopefully where the effort Eike has put into langtags should come into its own. i.e. have two dictionaries, old spelling and new spelling and set the language for the "old" rules to a suitable language tag. e.g. for an equivalent case for German http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry has... Type: variant Subtag: 1901 Description: Traditional German orthography Added: 2005-10-16 Prefix: de so the language tag for that orthography is "de-1901" while the mainline orthography is de. I'm not actually sure if right now when you install such a dictionary it will magically appear in the languages for spelling without us having to manually add that language into the language list (I think it'll appear as a bare de-1901 entry), but if not I'd like to get us towards that goal so we can keep people happy by supporting multiple spelling revisions while not having a language list of thousands of languages.
