Re: [csswg-drafts] font-size-adjust: auto (#5539)

@litherum I think by cascading you mean inheritance. :) We can solve that by having `auto` compute to a number.

I remember @dbaron describing `font-size-adjust` as essentially "lets you pick the font size by its ex-height, but in a backwards-compatible way". The readability of a Latin font being more related to its ex-height than its cap-height. Such an `auto` value would not provide that functionality, just provide ex-heght consistency for font-family changes.

p.s. It's a little unfortunate that such a generic syntax is relevant only to European writing systems: I can imagine other writing systems needing adjustment across font families also. So maybe maybe it would be good if the keyword were a little more explicit that it's operating on the x-height...?
