Sounds consistant... Philipp Gesang is working on the topic (see 
https://github.com/phi-gamma/luaotfload/issues/4#issuecomment-17041960). 
It makes documents less portable though... We have to find the right 
balance between easiness and a correct syntax, close to XeTeX... maybe 
I'm balancing too much on the easiness side? I have to say I've always 
been quite allergic to the new (XeTeX/fontspec) way fonts are called so 
I'm maybe not the best designer for it!

Philipp, what do you think?

Thank you,
