Let me ask, should Devanagari kerns also be > activated by {dflt, dflt}? If not, why? My own policy is, unless a feature must be restricted to a specific script/language (e.g. a locale-specific feature), all features should be assigned to *all* scripts in the font, including DFLT/dflt, because there is technical reason for doing otherwise and it would help applications not doing automatic script/language itemisation (both OpenType-enabled TeX engines, for example).
