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.
Cheers
Andreas
