I would like to circle back on this, and suggest that there needs to
be some kind of explicitly "on" option as well. Maybe I missed it in
the previous lengthy discussion, but if you tell me that Firefox will
interpret "font-kerning:normal" differently than it currently
"text-rendering:auto" that would alleviate my concern.

As an author, I want to be able to use a setting that tells apps such
as Firefox that I am serious about wanting kerning on, not just at its
discretion (for example, for text that's bigger than regular body
text).

Cheers,

T
