------- Additional Comments from Beth Dakin <bdakin at apple.com>
Here is a patch that implements the SVG text-rendering property as a regular
HTML CSS property, just like in Firefox:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-rendering

In this implmentation:
 auto = optimizeSpeed = what we normally when the value's not set
 optimizeLegibility = geometricPrecision = ligatures + kerning

Please note that this builds on Windows but doesn't do anything yet. I filed a
Radar bug to track the Windows portion, and perhaps I will file a new bug here
to track it too, or just keep this bug open to accept that patch shortly too.
