Excellent. Should the spec mention this directly? It says "where ‘<feature-name>’ is the case-sensitive name of an OpenType feature defined in [OPENTYPE-FEATURES]" and points to the feature registry page. That page makes no mention of the vendor space allowance. Maybe it could say something like: > > ... where ‘<feature-name>’ is the case-sensitive name of an OpenType feature defined in [OPENTYPE-FEATURES] or a [VENDOR SPACE TAG] as defined in the OpenType specification ... > > [VENDOR SPACE TAG]: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/featuretags.htm. Absolutely, yes to all the above. And as mentioned, the risk of "feature hijacking" is real and has been seen a fair bit in desktop fonts.
