What's the motivation behind the push to separate axes? Keep in mind that the 'font-feature-settings' property *does* provide access to the separate features. I think having a single axis covers the majority of use cases (e.g. discretionary-ligatures). > You do not mention when rlig and clig are or are not applied?

The 'clig' feature is enabled with 'calt' via the 'contextual' value of 'font-variant-alternates' and is assumed to be on by default. For 'rlig' the assumption is that it's always enabled when necessary, i.e. it's a default feature for OpenType fonts. But adding a note to explain this explicitly would make sense.
