Yes.

Today, kerning is usually realized with a feature, yes. And having
ligatures certainly is.

Features which are activated by default are seen by lilypond also.
For example, handling of Arabic needs a lot of OpenType support, and
this is provided by Pango automatically.
However, we need a mechanism to activate optional features. And to
answer your question from the other mail: Yes, this is a non-trivial
task to implement.
