The support of the 'size' feature I think still requires some consideration of backwards compatibility, since older browsers won't have support for this. Using the 'size' feature alters the definition of a font family, it is very much distinct from the current definition in all implementations. The proper place for that discussion is probably www-style, since the spec affected by this is the CSS3 Fonts spec.
