luatex is just lua + tex + access to each other, the luatex dev team
will *not* provide solutions; mkiv is what we use for testing etc etc

i'm thinking of a multi layer context i.e. kind of macro package
building subsystem; this means that we can for instance provide a kind
of bare tex with only core functionality (fonts, languages, io, xml, etc)
i have no plans to support latex if only because i have no need for it;
the xml parser is rather generic, which is why it is in l-xml, but
things may change (there will be more functionality, as in lxml-*)
(btw, the lpath code is somewhat experimental and will be extended, as
will manipulative functions)
