The "enabled by default" phrase is there because to match phrasing in the Fonts spec which describes default features. Basically, the user agent should explicitly disable common ligatures but *not* required ligatures. And I don't think the user agent should worry about other ligature forms (discretionary, historical, yadda, yadda). Cheers, John Daggett
