- Historical style (hist)

You can try my Theano Old Style font
(http://www.thessalonica.org.ru/en/theano.html), which has some
historical forms implemented both for Greek and Latin.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

 But please note
that this feature is essentially deprecated: it is better for a font
designer to use stylistic sets instead.

Why? If they are "historical forms" isn't it better to give them a meaningful OpenType feature name?

4.  I'm aware that I'm not fully covering the OpenType feature list
in fontspec. Has anyone noticed obvious areas that should be
included?

Am I right fontspec still doesn't support stylistic sets
(ss00--ss20), except via RawFeature?

This has always been available under the "Variant=0/1/2/3/..." feature but this name wasn't very obvious. In more recent versions of fontspec you can use "StylisticSet=0/1/2...".

Please ask if it looks like I've missed adding a feature in fontspec; chances are I need to add code or documentation or both to the package.

Will
