Hmm... I realize that polyglossia implicitly assumes OT fonts only: I
should add a warning when encountering AAT or Graphite fonts. The new

I think a warning in the output panel when compiling and also one in the
manual would be a good idea. In fact, the guy I am trying to help with
Sanskrit was going to try polyglossia; I'll tell him not to as long as
he uses that AAT font.
BTW: In the most recent polyglossia manual, Sanskrit should be in red in
the list of languages since it does have some options.
I think (Will can correct me if I'm wrong) these are generic macros used
internally. They are nevertheless accessible to the end-user, just in
case some font (designed, say, for Klingon or, perhaps more seriously,
for specialized ethnolinguistic uses) were to use language and/or script
tags not defined in the current OpenType standard.
That makes sense, thanks.
A sentence clarifiying this might be helpful though.
I agree.
