I was going to point out that if your test file uses precomposed  
characters, a set of hyphenation patterns that use only decomposed  
forms wouldn't match..... but then realized that the hyphen positions  
are expressed only in terms of consonants, and so they should be  
fine. :)

Yes, this sounds correct. Where multiple patterns match, the higher  
digit at any given position takes precedence, so the "2" from rule  
(2) overrides the "1" from rule (1).
