Not exactly (remember that it is only about user-dictionaries, not about
 default hunspell dictionaries). For example if you have a look in the
user-dictionary named 'sun', then you will find the following words:
- Adabas
- OpenOffice.org
- Webcast
...
It is a very convenient way to make sure that e.g. 'OpenOffice.org' will
always be regarded as correct even though it may not be part in any
hunspell dicitonary.
'Langugae-all' dictionaries do make sense to customize upon the existing
hunspell dictionaries. That they get either used/created by the provider
(here as part of OOo) or by the user himself.

On the other hand, as already mentioned elsewhere, I don't think they do
make much sense as regular dictionary source for the spell checker. They
should be maintained only by the provider or user.

And the only reason for me asking for hunspell support for them is to
allow for a implementation change of the user-dictionary format to one
directly readable by hunspell. This is purely to not loose functionality
when changing the format.
