Very good. That must be the ideal.

Okay, but I'm still concerned about the missing hyphenation-list(s) feature
in FO. Seems you were sceptical about the implementation of
hyphenation-exceptions in DSSSL. Is that due to the time it would take to
process the list at run-time?

I will. I read on Knuth's page that there was a new edition coming, but
can't find it at Amazon yet, so I'll wait a little more. But generally, I
hope that some implementation of FO will be able to do the same work in the
near future.
