They certainly do. They are intentionally designed as default algorithms, that is, the rules are not based on the language of the text, but if the kind or regular expression for sylllable structure that you cite from the W3C document is in fact generic enough to be useful in wide contexts, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to lobby Unicode to add it to these algorithms. It's easier for UAX#29, because it's the more general algorithm. UAX#14 grew out of work for East Asia, and initially did not assume that implementations would have the full power of regular expressions. A./
