* ligature break up (in LuaTeX most probably by inserting zero-width spaces).
* Automatic conversion of s to long-s (ſ) for printing in Fraktur.
* Advanced line-breaking algorithm with "weighted" hyphenation points.
All of these are prospective uses of the German "wortliste" (database of
German words with hyphenation information)
http://repo.or.cz/w/wortliste.git by the "Trennmustermanschaft"
https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/trennmuster. which could gain
from the option to implement them via a package rather than a
pre-processor.
