Well, I might take issue with that terminology too.:) 'Positional character forms' suggests to me something like word-positional forms or Arabic letter-group positional forms -- initial, medial, final --, i.e. forms determined by character position. A general problem of the draft, from a typographic perspective, is that the terminology is often not that used by typographers. Apart from being confusing, this leads some of my colleagues -- notably David Berlow -- to question the W3C's credibility in defining typographic features. The target audience for advanced typographic features in CSS is presumably people who know something about typography, so presenting information in terminology that is familiar to those people is probably a good idea.
