Yes, after I began to understand it, that text confirms it. That doesn't mean it explains it (at least not to me ;)).

Do I understand correctly then that it really is up to the font's author whether or not a font variant's small-caps' capitals will look like capitals or like small capitals? If so, I think I'll withdraw my proposal, as the CSS specs are of course not a fonts tutorial. -- Sander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/>
