What is an optical margin? Also, if you're looking for "old style numerals", are you talking about where numbers like the 3 extending slightly below the baseline? That appears to be a function of the font set as much as anything else. I'm pretty sure I've seen fonts that provide that still.
As for super/subscripts or numerators/denominators, again, depending on the font you use, there are font sets that include super and subscript glyphs that work well as numerators and denominators, instead of using the superscript/subscript function on the character designer. I've got a whole set of variables that are just constructed fractions using built-in font glyphs. (We use Source Sans Pro because it has a lot of the mathematical symbols we need and it also lets us construct those fractions.) At any rate, if there are features you'd like added, you can always put in a feature request: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/home Talk about them here and I'm sure a bunch of us would vote for them. You can also make requests on the Adobe FrameMaker forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/bd-p/framemaker?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all and tag it with Feature Request.
