CSS3 fonts, via font-feature-settings property, can handle this in part,
albeit only in a font dependent manner. Since it is unlikely that CSS
itself would ever directly support the full functionality of the OpenType
'GSUB' or TrueType 'mort'/'morx' tables, it is unlikely that a CSS-only
solution will be feasible.
