Description
Some fonts in the GF catalogue expect to use external GlyphData.xml files to determine categories and production names for glyphs with well-known names. Is this in scope for fontc? (Alternately, we can require that babelfont preprocesses such Glyphs files to bake the data into the sources.)

Research direction
Start by investigating how fontc handles glyph categories and production names when sources refer to external GlyphData.xml files. Compare that with the alternative of having babelfont preprocess Glyphs files, and clarify which approach is in scope before defining implementation work.
