LGTM2 - (I found a newly created entry in chromestatus that seemed to be
the right one but let me know if it ends up messy)

It seems the chromestatus entry has an incorrect feature type, and API
owners can't approve it.
Minseong, would you re-create an entry with "Chromium catches up"
feature type please?

*Specification*
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#propdef-letter-spacing
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#propdef-word-spacing
*Summary*
Enables percentage values for the letter-spacing and word-spacing
CSS property, as defined in the CSS Text Module Level 4 spec.
Percentage values are calculated relative to the advance measure
of the space character (U+0020). This gives developers more
robust and flexible control over typography, particularly in
responsive designs where text spacing needs to adapt to different
viewports and font sizes.

*Risks*
*Interoperability and Compatibility*
Risks are low. This is a support for new value of CSS properties.
So sites not using properties won't be affected. Firefox and
Safari has supported this feature for years.
/Gecko/: Shipped/Shipping Firefox is failing so many
letter-spacing tests:
https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-text/letter-spacing?label=experimental&label=master&aligned
<https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-text/letter-spacing?label=experimental&label=master&aligned>.
But those are related the line ending or boundary handling of
letter-spacing, not the percentage values. Related discussion:
