I think there are a couple of different interest groups to consider, <br>
which suggests pursuing work in parallel rather than prioritising one <br>
set of items over another.<br>
<br>
Overcoming the 64K limits seems primarily of interest to CJK font <br>
development and a few one-font-to-rule-them-all edge cases. For a large <br>
proportion of font developers, this is of little practical importance, <br>
while OTL and OTVar related work is of greater interest and impact.<br>
<br>
It may be necessary for implementers to prioritise, given available <br>
resources, but useful draft specification work could be done on multiple <br>
fronts in the meantime.<br>
