This was just done to work around a deficiency in the 
unicode-letters.tex file that XeTeX uses in building the formats. I 
think I may have corrected that, so that Indic letters will be accepted 
as "letters" for hyphenation without this extra code; can't remember if 
I ever checked this.

Anyway, if there is still a problem, the correct solution is to fix 
unicode-letters.tex, and omit this stuff from hyphenation files.
