It is my impression that classes are required for being able to build the hyphenation tree. Is that not so? Well, I looked it up. Classes are used to map several code points like upper/lower case of a character to a single character for the hyphenation pattern, a kind of normalization.

Hmm. I'd rather invent a FOP configuration for mapping the language(s) given in the FO to hyphenation pattern names. That is a good idea. Something like: hyphenation code=de use=de_1901/ Classes: ...
