Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] font-feature-settings don’t cascade

@kennethormandy I believe the `<span>` issue you described is less 
about cascading and more about spans breaking the contextual glyph 
sequences for OpenType features in some (all?) browsers. I haven't 
tested it recently, but in the past I ran in to problems where an 
OpenType substitution would be broken if any of the characters that 
triggered it were wrapped in spans.

Perhaps the CSS spec should be more explicit about how user agents 
should handle contextual glyph substitution when there are spans 
involved. But that probably deserves it's own separate issue.
