Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-5] <meta text-scale> limits (#13557)

> [@tabatkins](https://github.com/tabatkins) helped me understand this. The proposal is for the value in `content` to be the maximum supported scale for the medium keyword. I think the usecase being solved is good, but this is very hard to understand. Could we instead do something like `<meta name="text-scale" content="scale-medium-up-to=NUMBERpx">`?

Agreed. If we're going ahead with this change, a percentage value would be easier for authors to conceptualise. 

However, at the BBC, we have concerns about requiring the author to clamp the text scaling. I'll respond fully tomorrow.
