For the font-size, you could do something now, by using font-size-adjust.
Unfortunately, support is somewhat spotty :-( - basically limited to Gecko
1.9.0 + (Firefox 3.0 and newer) and IE 9 (if I'm not wrong).
In the future, you should be able to solve this with @font-face:
@font-face {src: local(/*font-name here*/); font-variant: ...;}

Hmm, use @font-face to load a font with real small caps? And don't specify
font-variant in your stylesheet. @font-face coverage is quite good (busted
Androids aside).
