change this in enco-ffr: (\empty -> \currentmainlanguage) 

\startlanguagespecifics[\s!fr]
    \definetextmodediscretionary : {\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\currentmainlanguage{:}:}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ; {\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\currentmainlanguage{;};}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ? {\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\currentmainlanguage{?}?}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ! {\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\currentmainlanguage{!}!}
\stoplanguagespecifics

(btw, this feature will be replaces in due time by pdftex's pre/post character kerning features)
