Will luatex go the standard TeX hyphenation way or will you try to do it
better? Especially for german the hyphenation based on those patterns
does not work very well (btw the same is true for british english). My
dream would be to see a solution where we have main/prefered break
points and optional break points (of course we will never find a
solution for everything, like semantically different words but with same
orthography) ...
btw another question: will luatex interpret ligature rules which are
language specific? At least from otf fonts?
