Michael, right now there's no way for an app to specify its own frequency table, which is wrong (frequency tables differ between languages, of course).

I was thinking the simplest way would be to have a flat-text file that gets read and built into a frequency table, the same way we will do dictionaries.

If you agree, the question is what layer should do the read of the flat-text file?

I'm happy to write the code to do it, if you'll tell me where to hook it in.
