Hi Mike,

The mechanism by which ligatures "just work" is that OpenType defines a set of
features that should be applied by default, which is precisely what good layout
applications do. The wording of the CSS3 Fonts spec is that user agents should
apply these default features to all text. Currently only Firefox does this but
I expect Chrome will at some point switch to doing this also.

So I don't think there's anything here that's a spec bug per se, you should be
filing bugs against Chrome and Webkit since they don't implement default
feature support (it needs to be enabled explictly or via 'text-rendering:
optimizeLegibility').
