I think it would work in a lot of cases but I think it's a confusing rule for authors. As the examples I posted show in some cases discretionary ligatures can be very font-specific, so I don't think restricting this behavior to a specific set of values makes sense. There are also cases where a particular fallback pattern *would* be consistent across fonts, it really depends on the content and the fonts involved. John
