Hyphenation dictionaries, British, American, and others

The following URLs are from two posts that showed up in
NNTP://comp.text.desktop this morning, a propos the current thread about
hyphenation and yesterday's thread about international technical
dictionaries.
The first is a link to the WORDLISTS Home Page, which is a FAQ that
seems at a cursory glance to be useful for people interested in lexicon
issues in general. It has a link to the HYPHENATION home page, as well.
The second is a plug from the same person flogging software that
allegedly handles hyphenation in fifty languages (whether strictly
algorithmically or in conjunction with the wordlists, I don't know. I
have not investigated.)
I'm just passing this information on because it seems to be pertinent to
the discussion. I don't vouch for the quality of the information on
either page.
