Sorry, I missed that. Tools exist or are soon-to-appear for what you're
discussing:

OpenType: VOLT
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/default.htm?fname=%20&fsize=

AAT: AAT Font Tool
http://fonts.apple.com/Tools/index.html

and our very own Graphite:

There are some additional tools out there or in progress for both AAT and
OT. Of course, application support is a separate issue.
