I don't understand. How can 'xxx-large', a new value, be supported by
old browsers and mail clients?

If I understand your requirement correctly, what's left is the current
workaround (output <font size=7> when the value is 7) or always ignore
"styleWithCSS" in this command, as it's not clear if throwing an error
in this case is backward compatible.
