I'm not sure if some back-channel discussions have filtered back to this 
group, but the relatively recently published RFC 2938 was intended to 
alleviate some of the difficulties that have been noted.

In particular, selectable feature-group expressions may be replaced by a 
composite identifier, so that the resulting feature expression is 
simpler.  This may be particularly useful for removing inner disjunctions 
from the resulting expression.
