I tweeted about extending the `font-kerning` property values for CJK proportional spacing and kerning,

and got many supportive reactions for the new value `all` (= 3. apply palt/vpal and kern everything).
Options 4 and 5 do not appear to be needed. I got a reply about it:

> I think it is better not to be able to do palt-on/kern-off because it is bad know-how, although some people are tempted to do it for the purpose of "loose kerning" even in DTP.
(translated from Japanese)
For "loose kerning" purpose, it will be better to use `letter-spacing` together with `font-kerning: all`, e.g.:
```css
.loose-kerning {
font-kerning: all; /* 'palt' on, 'kern' on */
letter-spacing: 0.05em;
}
```
