The OpenType spec allows the use of unregistered feature tags [1]. If a font has such a feature defined, say LOLZ feature in GSUB, could it be accessed like this? font-feature-settings: LOLZ; (I apologize for opening a can of worms. :-) Tal [1] http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/featuretags.htm: "The tag space defined by tags consisting of four uppercase letters (A-Z) with no punctuation, spaces, or numbers, is reserved as a vendor space. Font vendors may use such tags to identify private features."
