[ ] Japanese tate ruby
[ ] Mongolian - why does it need LTR in the font? Why are some parts rotated? What's up with page 2?
[ ] Uyghur just doesn't work at all.
[ ] Chordmode line spacing.
[ ] Convertors: check out the relative path thing.

Some hints concerning the Mongolian example.

The rotated words are the ones which contain a “U+180E mongolian vowel separator (MVS)”. Removing them solves the issue (but this changes the text).

The direction of the frame that is set by \thisframedirection[direction=TTB-LTR] is not inherited by the frame created for page 2. I don’t know whether this is a bug or a feature. Possible work-around: set direction=TTB-LTR as argument of the \begin{document}.

Thanks - the MVS issue is really interesting. I shall have a look at that. I have no idea why it changes the orientation.

Yes, the page direction is set on a per-frame basis if you use \thisframedirection. Probably it should be set to a document-wide direction. I added that ability later. :-)

I noticed on Triglot and Javanese examples the texts are not rendered correctly too.

triglot example, with the first column in Greek and second column in English rendered correctly, but the Japanese in the third column is not rendered triglot example second page, the unrendered Japanese characters appear over the Greek and English columns

I haven't checked if this is sile's fault or build environment yet.
