I'm not sure if I fully understand what you mean by "a new element".
are you expecting not adding any into the cache? or talking about the
range element in xml?
for the cache, I think it is necessary thing so that we have an
opportunity to read OS/2 table during only scaning in most cases.
for xml thing, <range> isn't a new in fact. it could be used for
<blank> and <charset>, which contains integer range, but not double.

So wanted to keep the existing one. anyway let me integrate both into one then.
