I don't know to what extent the support is missing (how complex are
the typographical rules apart from just sticking the letters close
enough together and use ligatures), but there is also a chance that
the features are added if that is simple enough.
AFAIK, Indic is the biggest OpenType mysteries and no one seems to get
it right, apart from MS who wrote the spec (there is even two
incompatible specs, abandoned one that is supported by FOSS
implementations and a new one that only MS implements.)
Indeed, and I even played with it for a while but as it needs additional
coding (the font is just part of the game) I decided that it only made
sense to spend time on it if there is real demand for it (plus enough
info). It could make a pet project for winter evenings. it's unlikely
that I need it in a project so that doesn't help either.
