What are these files called please?
I found <installDirectory>/hyphen/ukhyphen.tex with entries such as
ab3use
ab3usi
2aby
ac2a
So these are 'words' which should *not* be hyphenated?
There is also (bottom of the file)
\hyphenation{ % Do NOT make any alterations to this list! --- DW
uni-ver-sity
uni-ver-sit-ies
how-ever
ma-nu-script
ma-nu-scripts
re-ci-pro-city
through-out
some-thing}
Are these a 'specific' way to hyphenate some words?
But we shouldn't change these?
Is this the 'patterns' file? or is there another file in use as well?

OK, but for 'plain' xsl-fo, we should use hyphenate='false' to
stop hyphenation? Is that right?
