Hi Marcin,

3 months ago (on Friday, April 4) I asked about an option for luatex to automatically put ties before one-letter words. Hans asked me to remind about it in a few months, so I do it now;). (I can't answer in that thread since I delete old mails:( ).
BTW, I guess such a feature might be also useful for other purposes.
Interesting, I was thinking about something similar recently: A user should be able to define or augment a database such that many-to-most ties are done automatically: a~propos Dr.~[A-Z] [1--9]~CE % historical dates [1--9]~{\sc CE} This issue is analogous to hyphenation: one could have rules for each language etc. I guess this is a mkiv issue, not a luatex issue per se.
