Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you to do something similar to
what you did with enco-utf :) once you finish the mkiv interface.
That is, to auto-generate the list of feature mappings, so that the
interface may remain the same in XeTeX as it is in LuaTeX, like

What about

And even worse both engines have their own default values for fonts.
add to that
-- they may implement feature support differently
-- fonts have bugs in lookup rules (obscured by processing engines)
-- we may want to control aspects of features
-- we may invent our own

Hi,
when in february 2006 I asked for an alternative to fontspec that
could show me opentype features, Adam wrote:
I find that the lcdf typetools are a tremendous help:
otfinfo -f ~/Library/Fonts/WarnockPro-Regular.otf
and I can test the features with:
\showfont[Warnock Pro: +smcp]
achieves in one line like (copying from XeTeX list):
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari]{Sanskrit 2003}
needs dozens of lines in ConTeXt (definefontfeature, define
typescripts in two steps, ... b)
So in case that some more features in XeTeX/LuaTeX change, do not be
surprised too much

In this specific case you could use
\showfont[SerifCaps]
Nice!
What about other fonts, are there other arguments besides SerifCaps ?

The general approach would be something like:
\definefontfeature[mine][smcp=yes]
\definefontsynonym[a][name:Warnock Pro][features=mine]
\showfont[a]
