<p>Background: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>I submitted a proposal for an alternative Feature Variations
mechanism, worked out by Behdad and myself, with much better
scaling and independence than the current system. The discussion
of that proposal was postponed two meetings ago and then
accidentally left off of the last meeting's agenda. Given the
timing, Vlad suggested that I put the document into official ISO
format due to the short time between the upcoming Ad Hoc meeting
and the next Working Group meeting (if I have these terms
right). I said I would do this.<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After going through the current working draft and the draft
proposal, I've decided to leave the latter as it is for the
purposes of the upcoming meeting. The primary reason is that it
meets the needs of that discussion better, in that it has the
right background information and presents alternatives in the way
that a final draft wouldn't. The other reason is that I looked
back through the various other recent submissions and, other than
the cover page, I don't think this draft differs all that much in
approach. </p>
<p>Therefore I favor discussing
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/opentype-spec-drafts/blob/main/WG03_new_feat_var.pdf">https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/opentype-spec-drafts/blob/main/WG03_new_feat_var.pdf</a>
in its current form and then adapting its content after, as
needed. If that means it slips out of the next Working Group slot,
that's life.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
