<p class="MsoNormal">Agreed: distinct features are needed when a behaviour needs to be independently-controllable by users, or if (generally only in script-specific cases) a particular sequence of feature application is needed to get required GSUB derivations.
Otherwise, a separate feature serves no purpose other than a bookkeeping mechanism for the font developer, or a way to declare a supported capability to customers.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">OpenType is designed such that fonts can improve these kinds of things without needing a change to be rolled out to every engine first. We just need one required feature and all kinds of GSUB/GPOS things can be hung onto it. The tags should
be reserved for features that are either need to be controlled by shaper, or by user. Everything else should be just one required feature.<o:p></o:p></p>
