The term "hypenation dictionary" is quite common, but I see your
point. What would be a better name for the property?
hyphenation-pattern
hypenation-list
hypenation-resource
or, perhaps:
hyphenation­pattern

­ is probably the best way to encode this. However, it can be done
through CSS as well:
Dont's wait for <span style=3D"hypenation-dictionary: rec-ord.dic">re=
cord</span>=20
companies, <span style=3D"hypenation-dictionary: re-cord.dic">record<=
/span> yourself.
