By default, Firefox will apply kerning for font sizes at or over a certain
threshold (20 device pixels, currently).

I think "normal" should mean the UA default behavior; "auto" would also be
fine for this value. "kern" would force kerning (if supported at all).
"no-kern" would disable kerning.

I don't think we need to worry about browsers doing any kind of
analysis-based "automatic" kerning for the forseeable future...
