I think this is something to be included with font documentation. For example, HF&J clearly documents the stylistic sets supported by some of their fonts: http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_documentation.php?docID=6&productLineID=100026#sets I think it would make perfect sense for font vendors to include example @font-feature-values rules with their font documentation, that would simplify things for authors. I don't really see the need to get down to this level of specificity within a WOFF file which already contains links to a font vendor's site if provided. John Daggett
