Well, what I was wondering is if we need to load any
data at all (except english for compatibility). If it
can be loaded at runtime, then this is the best place,
because the format itself doesn't need it. Furthermore,
I think this improves compatibility, because we never
know how the format was built (and also think of local
patterns). This also open hyphenation to packages (patterns
based on rules are easy to program even in TeX, as mkpattern
does, for example).

Well, but it's not CTAN :-). To find it, people must be aware
of its existence. I'll have a look at it.
