I think you want to mention that StyleAdjuster can't mess with properties that
take this fast path?

Thanks :) Added that, and cleaned up this comment too.

+// This property affects only one property on ComputedStyle, and can be
+// set directly during inheritance instead of forcing a recalc.
+// Recalcs only happen during a change propagation if at least one non-

I'm not sure this is a good example, font-size impacts all properties that use
relative units, which is why it's a "high priority property". We'd need to store
tons of information but the comment doesn't really explain it.

Removed this comment, its not really needed anyway.
