I am quite surprised by this, because in dutch there are a lot of  
words with ö, ë to be hyphenated this way. And isn't there something  
alike in german with the \SS?
Anyway, it would be much appreciated as this sort of hyphenation could  
find its way in ConTeXt. It wouldn't do if LaTeX would keep in front  
of ConTeXt in this respect ;-)
