Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Handling of Standardized Variation Sequences

Ignoring all variation selectors (showing the modern form) and honoring all variation selectors (showing the historical forms) are extremely common use cases. The main controversy of Han Unification was there wasn't an easy way to switch between the two.

That could be implemented in JavaScript, yes. But the case of showing historical text in its modern forms and in its historical form as in the text is a purely presentation / style issue, which would be better accomplished via CSS.

Implementing a dynamic override it in JavaScript would entail traversing the DOM and storing the original string of every text node.
