font-width is still a draft and shouldn't replace font-stretch

From https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/WD-css-fonts-4-20260422/#font-stretch-desc it clearly states that font-stretch should be considered as an alias.

@ylafon you're right however firstly that proposal is still a draft and secondly this would replace all font-stretches with font-width and as of now, no browser other than safari supports font-width.

So you mean it's to keep the original property name in the output of the validator, right?

yes exactly, this keeps both working fine like before but it doesn't replace font-stretch with font-width since its not really supported yet.
