Ok, finally got to read this.  Indeed very interesting.  I'd say
fontconfig (and to some extent Pango) should be made to follow those
rules.  And many Pango users would appreciate that.  We already have a
few bugs open against Pango that would be solved if we follow those
rules in fontconfig and Pango.
