I type in Arabic frequently, and I'd love to see support for the (in my opinion far more intuitive) Mac Arabic layout, which has د ذ ط ظ together on the bottom row, ة on the same row as ه, and handles the various forms of hamza on the shifted layer a bit differently. The rest of the layout is the same for the most part, which means not that many extra keys would need to be added.*
Speaking of haa and taa marbuta, I wish you would use the more common isolated form of haa, the one that looks like a circle (ہ) rather than a squiggle (ﮪ), for the keycap legend. That way it'd match the glyph used for taa marbuta (ة).
Since you already have 4-key terminal ISO support in the base kit, you could take the opportunity to incorporate support for 102-key Arabic layouts as well. You'd just need to print dhaal/shadda (ذ ૻ) sublegends on the R3 \| key, and a tatweel (ـ) sublegend on the R4 <> key.
* They could either fit in Extension, or they could form a separate Mac child kit together with the 1.5u Super + 1u Alt keys currently present in Extension.
