Using Bidi implementations which already exist, implementing standards
already specified, and applying foreknowledge acquired through the
development of other implementations of those standards, correct?

When was the last time Firefox concerned itself with DPMI memory
extenders?  The disparate means of obtaining boot times on different
Unix and Microsoft systems?  File ACLs, SELinux, D-Bus, inode
notifications, ELF, xcoff, the 9k800 aout?

The scale and rapid development that is mandatory for a functioning web
browser sounds impressive, but is ultimately narrow in scope.  Emacs's
requirements are less imposing but greater in number, which compounded
by a group of active developers whose number pales in comparison to that
of Firefox, means that reducing the strain on any one of them is an
overriding objective.
