Yes, but the most important (those I mentioned and a few similar ones)
are still there. Gerd told me back then that he actually tried the
display engine without any optimizations, and found that it was
unusably slow.

If you mean the UAX#9, then yes, the intent was to do exactly what it
says.

I think we will not have any idea about this until Someone(tm) will
spend some time using and debugging the display engine with bidi
