I suggest that all who aren't indifferent to the support of smart font 
technologies like opentype would pay attention to issue 69129 and vote for it. 
It is about smart font technology called Graphite. Everyone who is acquainted 
with different smart font technolgies understand that by its concept Graphite 
is the best one, and the one that have potential to be universal, extensible 
smart font technology unlike OpenType. OpenType is not of course bad technology 
but graphite is far better one, but not so promoted.
Unlike OpenType, "features" in Graphite are not functional improvements, they 
are just options. I mean that if graphite is supported it is fullfunctional, 
i.e. it provides all Opentype features and more (like reodering), except what 
gives whatever options to a user, options that user can change. And then it is 
nessery just to make interface to give a user possibility to work with 
optionality. In opentype supporting any feature means giving some new 
functional improvement. In graphite supporting features means supporting 
options or possibility just to make some choice as to font rendering and we 
have already full functionality except optionality when graphite engine is 
supported.
For peoples with small languages with sophisticated script behavior Graphite is 
really indispensable, and Opentype has nothing to give sth as a good equivalent 
in those case.
I call for voting for issue 69129.
Graphite is also better for
