From my (new) understanding, > they're not numbers. It's under 'font-variant-numeric' because it's associated with the formatting of ordinal numbers, 1st, 2nd, 3rd. The variant glyphs substituted are the raised versions of 'st', 'nd' and 'rd'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_number_%28linguistics%29 Note: ordinals are not superscripts even though they are often confused with them.
