* Math delimiters and large operators in new MATH fonts no longer apply the italic correction (this fixes placements of super- and subscripts on such items for those fonts).
This doesn't sound the correct way to me. The described algorithm in MATH specification is to set subscripts immediately after the base (without italic correction) and shift superscripts horizontally by the amount of italic correction, then apply math kerning if present, this way fonts with no math kerning will still give acceptable output and need for math kerning will be minimized.
