Yep, the intial release has always been about glyph coverage and 
kerning. As they say, OpenType features will come next.

The fonts will still be very useful for accessing maths glyphs. I'm 
about to release a package "unicode-math" that will allow access to 
these fonts. (Although there will be some limitations due to the lack 
of OpenType features.)

Khaled Hosny has put together an OpenType version of STIX here:

I'm going to test it out soon.

Cheers,
Will
