Hyphenation obviously cannot simply depend on schemes; it seems as if some
"intelligence" is required as well. For example, the hyphenation scheme is correct
when we have
geschnittene => "ge-schnit-te-ne" (Part. of schneiden (to cut))
but
Schnittebene => "Schnitt-e-be-ne" (intersection plane)
LaTeX is really good in many cases of hyphenation, but not perfect.
