Hyphenation

Hey cldr-users,

It is often the case, especially on smaller screens, that long words must
be hyphenated so they wrap in a natural way. As far as I can tell, the CLDR
data set does not define hyphenation rules. I'm not even really sure what
the hyphenation rules should be for English. The implementation I've seen
uses a dictionary - maybe it's identifying potential breaks at syllable
boundaries?

Thoughts?
