I'm sorry, didn't think of that. It makes sense, of course.
Another possibility would be removing the backaddress=yes switch

What do you think?

[NTG-context] Fwd: [XeTeX] a note from the XeTeX author
-- Forwarded message -- From: Jonathan Kew [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/7/3 Subject: [XeTeX] a note from the XeTeX author To: Unicode-based TeX for Mac OS X and other platforms [EMAIL PROTECTED] To the XeTeX user community: This note is to let you know that for personal reasons, I have submitted my resignation to SIL, where I have worked for a number of years and where XeTeX development has been hosted. I remain interested in and supportive of SIL's work with and for many communities around the world, but with effect from the end of July, I will no longer be working as a member of the organization. I intend to continue working on XeTeX, which has always been driven primarily by my own vision and interests, rather than initiated or managed by SIL, and on other projects and activities in the TeX world. So this should not have a major impact on development except for occasional spells of distraction as I make various transitions over the coming months. And I expect SIL will continue hosting the XeTeX subversion repository on scripts.sil.org, at least for the time being. As I move on from SIL, I will of course need to find other ways to earn a living. It's possible that someone among the XeTeX community knows the perfect role for me... if so, I'd appreciate hearing of it! You all know something of my interests and experience: TeX-related software development, typesetting (with an emphasis on unusual fonts and scripts; that's why XeTeX exists), OpenType and AAT font engineering, etc. In the immediate future, I hope to work on a couple of freelance projects in the font development and typesetting fields, but would also consider a longer-term position if the right opportunity comes along. I hope list members will excuse me for posting this personal, somewhat off-topic note. Feel free to ignore it, of course, but if anyone has responses or comments for me I'd be glad to hear them. Off- list replies (directly to me) are fine; let's not clutter everyone's mailboxes. Thanks for being such a great community of users and contributors. I look forward to continuing participation in this group for a long time to come.

Interesting, I was thinking about something similar recently:
A user should be able to define or augment a database such that
many-to-most ties are done automatically:
a~propos
Dr.~[A-Z]
[1--9]~CE % historical dates
[1--9]~{\sc CE}
This issue is analogous to hyphenation: one could have rules for each
language etc.
I guess this is a mkiv issue, not a luatex issue per se.
