I don't think so. The relevant people for such questions work at
L'Imprimerie Nationale.

I do recommend having this book in your personal library:

    Lexique des Règles Typographiques en usage à l'Imprimerie Nationale
    ISBN : 2743304820
    http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/2743304820

The kind of books you need to have when you work on CSS...

I think it's supposed to be a "demi-cadratin", I'll check tonight in my books
(I don't have them here with me) and will let you know.
