Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Why is there no font-weight `light`? (#4048)

For those curious in the [history of CSS](https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/history.html), early [Level 1 drafts](https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-css1-960726.html) actually _did_ include proper absolute keywords for `font-weight`: `extra-light` | `light` | `demi-light` | `medium` | `demi-bold` | `bold` | `extra-bold`. They were removed some time before the release of the draft dated 1996-09-11, probably as a result of this [thread in www-style](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1996Aug/0055.html) and [this one](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1996Sep/0000.html).
