    NEWS: Tweak English localization item.
    
    Pull the more important (or at least the more broadly-scoped) material
    forward.  First, here's how to change the default input language for
    documents; second, here's how the default hyphenation mode for English
    has changed.

 o English localization has been split into a dedicated macro file,
   en.tmac, for better parallelism with other localization files and to
-  improve support for multilingual documents.  The default hyphenation
-  mode (as used by the .hy request) for users of English is thus changed
-  from "1", which was inappropriate for the TeX-based hyphenation
-  patterns groff has used since at least 1991, to "4".  However,
-  invoking .hy without an argument remains synonymous with ".hy 1".
-
-  Those who want a different default input language should edit the
-  troffrc file to source the desired groff locale macro file (cs.tmac,
-  de.tmac, den.tmac, fr.tmac, it.tmac, ja.tmac, sv.tmac, zh.tmac)
-  instead of en.tmac.

   "\n[.cp]" holds the saved value of compatibility mode.  See
