I'm happy to support the addition of such features to fontspec but I  
wonder if a new package would be a better idea (there's no reason  
this couldn't hook into the fontspec interface, though).

There's additional stuff that falls into the category of this sort of  
feature that doesn't make so much sense in fontspec -- for example,  
tuning the spacing around punctuation. Perhaps the upcoming jspacing  
(?) package will do this sort of thing.

Sadly I don't have time to work on this new interface but I  
definitely like the idea.
