i didn't read that document but i assume it refers to latex which for
sure will have some way to set up these feaures; i don't know about
plain support
in context protrusion and expansion is supported in mkii (pdftex) and
mkiv (luatex) .. in mkiv there is a bit more control
there is no preprocessing involved (these two features are just part of
the par builder)
extra kerning and so is done by manipulating node lists (so not an
engine feature but a context one)
