I agree with this, in the sense that the Unicode Consortium should not
orient any of its recommendations of requirements toward *any*
particular font format.
Proper rendering of certain parts of Unicode requires advanced rendering
capabilities, some of which are the responsibility of the font. This is
perfectly reasonable. However, any rendering subsystem with those
capabilities should be acceptable. Nothing should require OpenType
specifically or Graphite specifically. No requirements should be cast
in terms of what any vendor's product does (although, of course,
examples are fine).
See, William, we found something we can agree on!
