To be clear, the changes in horizontal widths are _precisely_ the interop
issues Gecko has run into so far.  So it's _exactly_ like kerning as far as I
can tell.

It's just as interoperable or not as anything else between systems with
different sets of fonts installed, modulo browser bugs (like lack of support
for weights that are bolder than bold altogether).
