Clarification: When I wrote 'not an issue, yet', I meant 'not an issue, yet for
Chromium or other webkit ports'. 

Because Firefox already supports kerning, for OTS to be used by Firefox soon,
kern and other related tables have to be sanitized and passed through.
Contributions are welcome :-)  ( http://code.google.com/p/ots/ )

For complex scripts, gpos,gsub and other tables must be sanitized even for
webkit.
