Ah, yes, I forgot about this.

When it's restricted to the case that a font pathname is given (the  
situation in which this misuse counts), then it's a good idea,  
indeed, to check whether raw features are given the XeTeX way ...

You could also add this as another example of the use of the  
RawFeature option. And there is no other way to access the italic  
variants of the Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro and the Hiragino Mincho Pro  
font sets or collections. (Could be Osaka and its Mono variant are  
similiar.)
