Fonts don't really have any control over which features are on or off by
default. Each OpenType Layout engine applies such feature set itself.
The script-specific specifications section at:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/SpecificationsOverview.mspx
(esp. "Standard scripts (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek etc.)" and the feature
descriptions provided in
http://www.microsoft.com/Typography/OTSpec/features_ae.htm
give recommendations to OpenType Layout engine developers on which
features should be on by default for which writing systems.

Best,
Adam
