I think you have completely lost context with your *potential* users. The fact 
is, the majority of the world is still using Microsoft word. Out of the rest, 
Many are using libreoffice/openoffice as a substitute. Then you get the LaTeX 
people from the maths/engineering backgrounds. Out of the LaTeX people, there 
are CJK which seems to have the longest history, XeTeX which does most 
languages acceptably okay (but not as meticulously "well", for a certain 
measure of "well", compared to some other TeX-based technologies; but then, so 
is libreoffice/msoffice which is only acceptably okay, not great), and then 
there is ThaiLaTeX. And Swath is a small tool that ThaiLaTeX needs/recommends.

If you are not making it easy to try out to see how it might be an interesting 
alternative (which may or may not be true) compared to XeTeX and CJK, you have 
lost your potential users before you never start.
