Simple test case; resize window to see different hyphenation points

If I'm using the CSS3-propery
    hyphens:auto;
I get rather confusing results:
On Safari on iOS all texts are hyphenated using the rules for the system language; regardless of the language of the hyphenated text.
On Webkit (Nightly 6533.21.1, r86499) hyphenation is only performed when the system language of OS X is set to 'English'.

I'd expect
a) Safari on iOS not to hyphenate text in an other language (i.e. when there's a lang-attribute with an other language).
b) Either Webkit on Mac OS X having other hyphenation patterns than just English or support for 'hyphenate-resource' to be able to load patterns.
