FWIW, the experimental mozilla implementation supports this: within the
-moz-font-feature-opentype string, you can use "language=XXX" to select an
OT language system, and if this is used it will override the default
(based on the page or html element's lang attribute).

Of course, -moz-font-feature-opentype strings are not necessarily the
final interface for any of this, but I agree that we need to provide this
level of control.
