Otis, I think this is a great idea.
you could also go even further by making a better example for StemmerOverrideFilter (stemdict.txt) ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LanguageAnalysis#solr.StemmerOverrideFilterFactory ) for example: animated <tab> animate animation <tab> animation animations <tab> animation this might be a bit better (but more work!) than protected words since then you could let animation and animations conflate, rather than just forcing them to be all unchanged. i wouldnt go crazy and worry about animator matching animation etc, but would at least let plural forms match the singular, without screwing other things up.
