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...
