Slightly off topic (for which I apologize) what tables should an Indic
font designer be using for fonts that will be used with Harfbuzz,
Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8), iOS, OS X, Android, InDesign, etc? Certainly
I can see putting in new spec tables (ie dev2). Would it be recommended
to also add old spec tables (ie deva) as well?

Thanks,
Bobby
