With my setting you create a new font feature ”arabic” which inherits the
setting from the ”default” features with the extra settings “mode=node” and
”script=arabic” while your settings extends the ”default” features with these
values. I did this because you use the ”arabic” font feature in the
\definemainfontfallback setup but i forgot that context already has a “arabic”
feature which enables a lot of font options which you need.

Maybe in the list archive but often such things are discussed offline, i found
it myself in the source.

I guess the wiki page you already know is currently the only source.
