Well, I'm more comfortable discussing things by mail than inside the
bugreport :)

This is a great idea !
It could be extended in a the spirit of "styles" (as used, for
example, in contemporary word-processors). We could use [textstyle]
blocks to define a set of commonly-used font_* parameters, and then
reference it using something like "textstyle=foo".
Aside from helping to make things consistent with a low maintainance
cost, it would have the side-effect that providing updated [textstyle]
blocks in a [partialresolution] would be sufficient to consistently
adapt font-size to other resolutions.
