2.) in pTeX there are some extra synonyms; are they really needed? I suggest whittling down the ptex aliases to be the same as the TL language.dat. I don't recall ever having =canadian, etc., but I suppose we did at some point ... and it's been gone for ages now without complaint. I can't imagine ptex users are specifically asking for those obscure aliases ...
Can only think about one issue per reply, sorry :). k
