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.
