And I suspect that's something to be avoided if possible, considering the price of changing fonts and typescripts. A lot of what I typeset is an alphabet soup of acronyms, so I'm much more drawn to an approach with small caps as a context-sensitive font alternative (perpendicular to \bf and \it). I will take your comments on the complexities of OpenType to heart (you've been looking at the problem longer than I have), but I do want to spend some time thinking about a rational approach.
