I think this makes sense (and for the 'cvXX' features too).

Given that the file format structure is as Behdad describes, can we 
confirm that current tools for adding FeatureParams and names -- the SIL 
tool, DTL OTMaster and AFDKO -- already do as Adam suggests, i.e. write 
the same values to all the FeatureParams in the FeatureList regardless 
of script and language system? Or are there any assumptions here of the 
kind that afflicted early OTL implementation, e.g. only writing 
FeatureParams to the <latn> script tag!
