Same can be said about case-sensitive forms ('case'), which should only be used when it is known that whole paragraph consists of capital letters only. Also, titling caps ('titl') are applied to capital letters, but kind of size-dependent. Both are applied manually, and both may be combined with capital spacing.
FWIW, there are many fonts out there that change more than capital letters in the case and cpsp (and titl) features. I've made and seen fonts that change punctuation, figures, etc.
