I've added my votes to this 'un. I'm approaching this from a typographical point
of view rather than complex scripts. I've long wondered (and ignored) what
Graphite was, and only just realized that in addition to implementing Graphite's
own "smart font" features, Graphite — certainly SIL's implementation in WorldPad
— also implements OpenType features, at least on XP.

I'm amazed I haven't noticed this before: seeing as SIL already have various OOo
builds with Graphite support (though I haven't tested any), incorporating
Graphite into standard builds would appear to be a quick and relatively painless
way to implement support for OpenType features. At least the ones that OpenType
specs recommend are on by default (eg LIGA for ligatures, and CALT for
contextual alternates); features requiring input from the user, eg. figure
substitutions, small caps etc., would require GUI work.

It may be worth referencing this issue under other issues concerned with
OpenType features, ligatures, advanced typography etc.
