Option #4 provides a way of working around this, of tying feature settings to a single font, but authors are still free to just use the generic property and not worry about it. I think in practical situations this is much harder to imagine than it would seem, fallback fonts typically fall into the bland, "websafe" category so the chances of that font having variants is fairly low. Naturally this could change, websafe fonts could sprout all sorts of new features but I think it's much more likely that variants are used with downloadable fonts where option #4 provides a natural solution.
