[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

before replying, a few more thoughs ...

Another question is also: suppose that someone who has no idea about
different versions of patterns comes accross the repository (someone
writing support for hyphenation in web pages or any other open-source
project). Which patterns should be exposed as default ones? Which ones
are better? (I seriously don't know that.)

The default ones should get the name en-US and the other one
"en-US-x-somethingelse".

If the "max" set of patterns is decided to be the default, than I
would agree to have en-us-x-knuth (x for the reasons of IANA's
standard meaning "private extension"; see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5646).

But in case that Knuth's patterns become the default ones, we need
another name for the "max" patterns.

True. I'm still not convinced that we need a special loader for that
even if we take over the patterns into our repository.
