There has been recent work on another macosx speller service implementation with support for multiple languages (https://github.com/roguePanda/MacVoikko). The main implementer has put the zhfst files in /Library/Spelling, the same place as one should put the .aff and .dic files of Hunspell spellers. This would follow the general dictionary structure of MacOSX, and as such it seems ok and quite fitting.

There are two issues though:

1) People expect that things put in /Library/Spelling should work also in ~/Library/Spelling (and possibly /System/Library/Spelling)
2) I would like to retain the default locations, which are automatically disabled when using the override - being able to specify a list would resolve that

So yes, if possible, it would be nice if you could implement support for this :)
