Actually, the goal of "easily add shapping for a new orthography" and
the goal of "do not duplicate in all fonts what really belongs to an
orthography" are not as incompatible as we paint them. For example,
there could a be plug-in mechanism (and those plug-ins could be written
in a special-purpose language) for Uniscribe.
