Don't know. Just one remark still in this matter: Some modes as text-mode, org-mode are useful for non-programmers too. However, emacs' didactic already is somehow backward bothering people with keys instead mentioning mnemonic function-names. It's important to reflect how much a newbie/non-programmer may learn. IMHO the use of `customize' with its different types - string, regexp, boolean - its enough already. Requiring knowledge and use of things like `add-hook' is simply too much - emacs will lose this people. So what about introducing a customizable var saying `use-text-mode-abbrev-table'? If set to `t', use it. As said - suggest it as default.
