Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Feature for making text always fit the width of its parent (#2528)

I'll need to do more research on this topic before I could respond further, but it feels necessary to link up two related issues with discussions from WCAG/WCAG3 here:
- https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1671
- https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/issues/261

On the first reading, the discussions there mostly agree that [SC 1.4.4](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#resize-text) is not ideal, both in ensuring the small text is readable (where you could want to bump it up more than 200%), and that for larger texts the percentage (if used at all) should be smaller, as otherwise headers could fail [SC 1.4.10](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#reflow).

There were no resolution about anything though, and I will keep an eye on the Low Vision task force, and will bring these issues, and how they apply to this feature to them once it is restarted. Thank you, @patrickhlauke, for pointing to this group.

@tobireif Yes, GH is the place to discuss that, although maybe we should open a separate issue about the possible accessibility implications of this feature :)
