You can mention that the Dutch patterns are being processed by OpenTaal.
They are put on hold since we are working very hard on the next version
of spell checking at the moment.
You're speaking about spell checking, not hyphenation, right? Could you
please elaborate a bit?
I've recently thought about spell checking of TeX documents and came up
with the following idea that requires LuaTeX's node list manipulations:
1. In the first LuaTeX run, write all typeset text into a UTF-8 encoded
text file.
2. Feed that text file to your favourite spell checker, generating a
list of bad words.
3. In the second run, LuaTeX reads-in the list of bad words and puts a
red wavy line under all bad words in the document. A possible approach
is to mark nodes corresponding to a bad word in pre_linebreak_filter
with an attribute so that they can be identified later.
FWIW, you can also look at how ConTeXt implements the on the fly spell
checking:

The implementation details are in lang-wrd.mkiv.
