I was thinking, since using \lccode for hyphenation is really a wired choice (I'm sure don has a good reason back then, but such things are usually no longer relevant), and since it is used in a sort of controlled environment (playing with \lccode's for hyphenation is not ever one's toy), may be luatex can break the backward compatibility in the hyphenation area and have a dedicated new code, \hycode or something, only for hyphenation purposes (may be backward compatibility can be kept by using it in addition to \lccode, maybe). What do you think?
