idris might show a few more insights
In addition to Hans points: Oriental TeX -- the "mother" or "midwife" of luatex -- is interested in both Persian and Arabic (as well as other languages that require the Arabic script). At present we have a team in Iran that is helping us to move some of the OTeX goals forward. On the other hand, OTeX is definitely ConTeXt-centric. Javier Bezos, I believe, is working on the luaTeX-LaTeX front, and he may have more to say on that, assuming XePersian is LaTeX-centric. Any suggestions from the XePersian team are of course most welcome!
