    Same here.  A perusal of the property table in CSS2.1 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html) shows that 'font-stretch' 
wasn't included, which indicates that there were fewer than two 
interoperable implementations at the time CSS2.1 was written.  (Not 
that CSS2.1 is completely and totally finished from a process 
standpoint, but it's pretty well done.)
    Generally speaking, I use the rule of thumb that any property or 
feature that is in CSS2 but isn't in CSS2.1 can be fairly safely 
ignored, since it will have little or no support from browsers.
