Wouldn't there be a way to include a typographically more or less correct size
of small caps depending on font properties (x height)?

The - apparently quite good - German Wikipedia article on "Kapitälchen" names
two major problems for fake small caps (in contrast to genuine small caps that
are included in fonts): They are either too tall (Word) or too lightweight (if
reduced to x height). In either case they catch ones eye if one looks at a text
from a certain distance. Wouldn't it be possible to chose the x height and print
them somewhat darker than letters just reduced in size? Furthermore small caps
should be spaced by .5 to 1 point according to the article. (Any comments of
typography specialists?)

If an automatic solution is not feasible, I'd plead for a manual percentage
setting, too.
