I do not see how not encoding the morphological information that does not change makes the data less reusable. All the "relevant" information is there and the "irrelevant" one can be easily added. > In any case I think it is probably not a good idea to assume that the > bilingual dictionary only encodes "different" information.

Not encoding the morphological information that does not change makes it possible to automatically infer structural transfer rules with apertium-transfer-tools. This tool is around for more than 4 years. I think it is not a good idea to change the way we do things. When we designed Apertium we took the decision of not encoding the morphological information that does not change in the bilingual dictinary and I think that we should stand to what we decided at that moment if there is not a "good" reason for the change and "reusability" is not (see above).
