But my concern with hyphenation penalty cumulation is another one. Since
TeX does just penalty cumulation during paragraph breaking, too, there
can be interaction between hyphenations penalties across different words
of a paragraph, that, summing-up, can steer paragraph breaking into the
wrong direction (inferior solution).
Please keep thinking about an actual implementation.
As I have tried to outline in an earlier mail, my conflict resolution
strategy requires putting the pattern sets into a ranking by priority.
The actual strategy looks like this:
* At each hyphenation position apply the penalty from that matching
pattern set, that has highest priority. Here's some pseudo code:
loop (over pattern sets in priority order)
if (pattern set matches a hyphenation) then
penalty = penalty[pattern set]
break
end
end
apply penalty to hyphenation
