 Replying to [comment:3 afercia]:
 > Yup, I'm curious especially about mobile devices, If there are any
 performance issues, the kerning could be limited to just headings. Seen on
 [http://blog.typekit.com Typekit blog] where they apply kernel just to
 paragraphs and lists.

 Unless implementing the kerning is particularly CPU intensive ( my guess
 is it isn't, but I don't have data to back that up ) I don't think this
 will have much impact on mobile performance.  I expect for devices using a
 mobile connection downloading ~45KB of font files from Google is going to
 be a bigger impact that a CSS kerning option.
