FWIW, the XSL 2.0 Requirements includes several requirements for better
font support [1], including font choice based on script or language and
font-specific features (i.e., OpenType features).

The work to date on improved font support hasn't made it into the current
Working Draft [3][4], but I, personally, don't see anything wrong with
anyone who can articulate specific needs for improved font support in
XSL-FO 2.0 submitting a pre-emptive comment about it on the W3C Bugzilla
[2].
