font-size-adjust is in CSS3 Fonts, actually. But it's not a simple issue,
it's a "here I have a problem" and there are multiple ways of *trying* to
solve it; we have no idea which one, or what combination, will actually
be the right solution. So far we've had suggestions for
   - font-size-adjust additions
   - text-justify additions
   - @supports additions
   - layout additions

It's not well-defined enough to be a spec issue--it's merely an "unsolved
use case" and we don't have anything set up to track such things.
