i have rather general questions:
* are there security considerations (havent worked with it, but
  its possible to write ERT for "rm -rf/" in lua)?

* why do we want it at all - or in more general, what are we aiming to support?
  all pdftex, xetex, luatex?
  each new engine will have its own quirks i guess. its not clear to me whether
  its fashion for next five years or its mature and is going to survive -- or be
  replaced by some new xeluatex creature?
  (honest question, i dont follow development steps of these. short googling
  returns bunch of time-dependent infos...).
