you can then probably just enable it as i cannot imagine a document
which uses mixed typographical habits that still looks right
anyway, there will be some mechanism but probably more at the level of
the features itself (i.e. as part of setcharacterspacing) as there have
to be ways to turn on/off specific language bound features. The mkii
language specifics were mostly meant for encoding issues and those
trigger points have disappeared as encodings are gone now.
