calt and liga tracking fail

$

The Contextual Alternates and Ligature feature stop working in InDesign when tracking is increased beyond +20.

This is a problem for pseudo-random typefaces in which the effect should work whatever the letterspacing.

Is there another on-by-default OpenType feature I can put this effect in?

It seems strange to publish versions with different built-in letterspacing, but that’s what I intend to do. 

I think that’s a better solution than putting the options in Stylistic Sets, as those are so annoying to locate in GUIs.

Opinions?

And would “Loose” and “Extra Loose” be good names or just “…+50” or whatever the amount is?
