I suspect that the vast majority of current uses are via the Google Fonts UI rather than explicitly writing out the CSS. 

I hope that @svgeesus ' suggestion will carry the day, as the term `font-stretch` is just wrong. It doesn't match the current (and accurate) terminology from type design or graphic design—and doesn't make semantic sense either when referring to widths narrower than 100%. Chris laid out a sensible path, which gives us the opportunity to correct a mistake instead of leaving it perpetuity.
