As noted in my other post on this thread, in the vast majority of TCY
cases, the default glyphs do *not* fit within 1em.  When it does it's
often simply because the default glyphs *are* half-width glyphs, so
applying 'hwid' doesn't affect the result.  The cases where "measure
default glyphs, *then* apply width variations" gives different results
are generally restricted to the use of 'all' with specific content
such as 'ii'.

The example is problematic because it implies that variations may
often occur across implementations when, in fact, variations will only
occur it certain uncommon situations.
