Adobe reps have said that they regret making the alternate glyphs
available in the Private Use block and plan on leaving all alternate
glyphs unencoded in future releases.  Meaning they would only be
available via OT features.

I *think* I recall that Garamond Premier Pro follows that new
standard, and I'm sure the bonus font included in the beta for
photoshop does.
