thanks for your explanations of the LT/Lightproof differences.

Yes, the difficulty comes from the flags used in hunspell. If a hunspell 
dictionary was just a long list of words without flags, one could easily add 
the tags from LT to each word.

I have never tried that but I think the finite state machine used internally 
by LT is quite memory-friendly.

If we could work together more closely that would be great. As you know, 
each rule in LT has an id so it can be identified. Maybe that id could be 
used to keep track of similar rules. Does LightProof also have integrated 
test sentences? Then LT could use them to see what rules are missing in LT 
and vice-versa.
