Well, yeah, but this is www-style, not some implementer or advocay list.

There are several levels of ligation indeed, and for normal users
those are probaby enough. Finer control is necessary for expert use
of course, but I'm not sure whether simple string lists are
sufficient and whether they should be in CSS itself or combined with
dictionary files.

Today, I expect a font to have more than one kind of digits. That's
what OT etc. are about after all.
