Description

The spec describes e.g. https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/designspaceLib/xml.html#stylename-familyname-stylemapstylename-stylemapfamilyname-elements-localised-names-for-instances to assign localized names. Norad may want to handle that.

Research direction

Confirm the intended scope with maintainers before implementing support, and consider the work done when localized instance names are represented and round-tripped according to the spec.
