Thanks so much, Hans! I should be able to add a wiki page summarizing the tests before the end of the week.

For reference purposes, do you know which version of ConTeXt has (or will have) this update included?

We (Joey and I) figured out how to best deal with this. As a result the
predefined hebrew feature now will do the right thing for fonts that
assume some specific ordering. So, this should work okay:

\definefontfamily[hebrew] [rm] [SBL Hebrew] [features=hebrew]

in the most recent upload.

Maybe there should be a wiki page that summarizes tests with hebrew
fonts (but I leave that up to Joey).
