Example section reads

'In an Arabic-script font, the application would apply the 'init' feature to the letter ARABIC LETTER HEH (U+0647 “ه”)'

In the spirit of JFDI (just get on and do it), I have converted the spec to Markdown and posted it on Github: https://simoncozens.github.io/OpenOpenType/

This is an independent effort and I’m not affiliated with Microsoft, but if you post any issues there I will make sure the MS team are made aware of them and will follow up with any response.
