A suggested new OpenType feature Many to many substitution and localization

I started a discussion in the MPEG-OTSPEC mailing list, suggesting a new OpenType feature.

Thirteen posts so far in the thread.

In some posts in the following thread, there is a link to an interesting article and an interesting website about communication through the language barrier at a French hospital Accident and Emergency Department.

Well, the idea as presented did not gain support in the MPEG-OTSPEC mailing list.
