Thanks, I'll take a look.

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

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.
