That is good news.  Is it worth beginning work on porting WebKit to use this?

I notice git://git.freedesktop.org/~behdad/harfbuzz-ng seems to not
include some of the pieces you mentioned (ICU for example, but also
hb-shape is more or less empty) -- is there a different tree I should
be tracking to follow progress?

One reason I'm eager to look at this is to be able to provide early
feedback as to how well proposed APIs will work.  Do 1.0's plans
include writing comments or docs on the API?  :)
