I think something like
h1 {padding: auto; min-padding: 1em}
looks pretty much straight forward. I'm not sure it is implementable this
way, though.

That's a job for relative font sizes.

I really don't understand why someone would make such an requirement.

100%, 1em, (1rem,) medium

The scaling factor is defined to be 1.2 in CSS2, 1.5 in CSS1.

'Medium' is 100% or 1em of the root element (1rem).

You might be able to do some adjustments with @font-face and/or
font-size-adjust.

It would probably be nice to be able to set minimum sizes in the browser,
instead of relying on a fixed minmimum font size (possible in Opera).
