Hello,

I'm wondering why before defining a typeface I must define a synonym for it. For example, my minimal working definition for Vladimir Script fontface is

\starttypescript [serif] [vladimirscript]
    \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vladimir][features=default]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [vladimirscript]
    \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [vladimirscript] [default]
\stoptypescript

Being XeTeX-adherent, it is a pain for me write that all for every font I use. Why I cannot specify it as simply as

\starttypescript [vladimirscript]
    \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [name:vladimir] [default]
\stoptypescript

or better just

\definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [name:vladimir] [default]

without any synonyms?
