as taco mentioned ... most open type fonts have no italic correction
automatically figuring it out is not always an option, compare (in
pdftex):
\sl \the\fontdimen1\font\the\dimexpr1em\relax \`A \'A
\bs \the\fontdimen1\font\the\dimexpr1em\relax \`A \'A
\it \the\fontdimen1\font\the\dimexpr1em\relax \`A \'A
i can imagine that we start building a database with additional font
parameters
