While I think you're right that the last two are very uncommon, they are not a large contributor to the complexity of handling font sizing. Once you've done all the rest, I suspect you could add them with <5% more work.
Leaving out rare features to build a browser more quickly only makes sense if those features let you remove a lot of complexity from your implementation.

- jefftk 6y agoSorry, you're right. I've gone back and read the article and there was complexity in those two that I had completely forgotten about.
