I think hyphenation (in a browser) should be a "drop-in" module, which should allow for a user "dictionary" much like spell-checkers do. I think it's a little difficult to decide what are and what are not core OS functions these days (ie Apple thinks text processing (ATSUI) is, Microsoft thinks a web browser is), certainly hyphenation should be a shared resource. I'll make the effort to find out if ATSUI deals with this at all. -- Clive
