Hi, Most useful task of the user-defined "All" dictionary is to set the correct spell checking and hyphenation of the personal and other proper names of the users.
You are right, there is a tendency from the vendors to add language-dependent, unused or questionable words to all languages, but this is not related to the planned new implementation of the user-defined dictionaries (fixing the problems of the suggestion and the missing capitalization, affixation and multi-word expression support). Please, report the dictionary problems to the vendors, for example, the word "deinstall" of the vendor-defined dictionary "soffice" or the "daughterboard" of the "sun" are not international words. I have filed an issue about these problems: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99359. Thomas Lange and I wrote about the possible new implementation of the user-defined dictionary handling, changing the subject, because we need better user-defined dictionary support, too. I think, all problematic words can be removed from the vendor-defined dictionaries. When everything else had failed, you can simply switch of the vendor-defined dictionaries in the Options. I'm sorry about this misunderstanding.
