Right.  I see your Luis hat :)

Things I like to see done for 1.14 in no particular order:

  - Use Unicode 5.0 data and update any algorithms that changed [bug 336282]
  - Rewrite word-boundaries to follow UAX#29 [bug 97545]
  - Integrate Damon's TeX-style h&j engine [bug 64538]
  - Fix various small-api feature requests in bugzilla
  - Vertical writing directions [bug 99523]
  - Robust behavior with missing/unusable fonts
  - Lazy line-breaking/word-boundaries computation [bug 123646]
  - Cleaning up / unifying the common code in fc modules [bug 328185]
  - Better support language-sensitive font selection and OpenType features [bug 325714]
