I second this: HTML, then a conversion to pdf.

The html-to-pdf converter Prince (princexml.com) supports hyphenation,
using Tex patterns.

Prince supports all opentype features. For instance, to get oldstyle digits:
p { font-variant: prince-opentype(onum) }

If you do not like Prince, you can also print your documents from
Firefox to a pdf file. You can even automate this:
