[css-houdini-drafts] [font-metrics-api] Clarification on internal leadings

kojiishi has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts:

== [font-metrics-api] Clarification on internal leadings ==
There once was confusion about handling of internal leading in font 
metrics. Microsoft published a few good kb articles 
[32667](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/32667) or 
[74299](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/74299) to clarify this,
 but I think some web developers still have different understanding on
 this, especially when their native scripts do not use accents.

I wish this new spec clearly defines whether the ascent includes the 
internal leading or not (I believe it should but I'm ok either way), 
and hopefully the naming clarifies this point to let web developers 
think about it, or provide both methods for convenience.

It may make the method names long and redundant though. Thoughts?
