surely the present discussion shows whats missing? a solution to the
problem of multi-language hyphenation in the same paragraph?

Why don't you work with John Plaice and Yannis, and agree on a scheme
whereby the two projects merge? It doesn't seem to me that the present
situation helps anyone, with the impression given of rivalry. Yes, I
know you will say a) there isn't rivalry, and b) its a good thing to
have several teams on the job, but time is running out for a Tex
successor (as indeed it is for LaTeX3)....

switching eTeX to Unicode would be nice...
