The problem with a single-number coding scheme like "501 = normal + 1 step
(wider/bolder)" is that wider/narrower, like bolder/lighter, are required to
make a change if they can. So, consider
<span style="font-stretch: normal">a
<span style="font-stretch: wider">b
<span style="font-stretch: narrower">c
</span></span></span>
Suppose that the font family for this entire thing has two widths: normal and
condensed. (Pretty common.) Then the spec says "a" and "b" should be rendered
at normal width, and "c" at condensed width. But with a single-number scheme,
the style for "c" is indistinguishable from the style for "a".
