Isn’t there a way to list exceptions that will work in *all*
languages?
I thought that \hyphenation would work like that, or \startexceptions
without a language code. Apparently that's not the case.
\hyphenation only works for the given language:
 \hyphenation{macOS}
 \starttext
 \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
 \currentlanguage:
 \hyphenatedword{macOS}
 \startlanguage[fr]
 \currentlanguage:
 \hyphenatedword{macOS}
 \stoplanguage
 \stopTEXpage
 \stoptext
But I’d say that \registerhyphenationexception[macOS] was
language-independent for me some time ago. (Now it seems to work like
\hyphenation.)
In any case, \registerhyphenationexception seems to have issues with
ligatures:
 \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]
 \registerhyphenationexception[steff-en macOS]
 \registerhyphenationexception[it][steff-en macOS]
 \starttext
 \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
 \currentlanguage:
 \hyphenatedword{steffen macOS}
 \startlanguage[it]
 \currentlanguage:
 \hyphenatedword{steffen macOS}
 \stoplanguage
 \stopTEXpage
 \stoptext
If there isn’t a command to add language-indepented hyphenation
exceptions or patterns, one for proper names (for people, products or
companies) would be really useful.
Just in case Hans or other wizard may take a look at this,

Hans, is there any news regarding Pablos wish?
no, because I'm in a different tex mode ...
