Q2. What is Enhanced Typesetting?
A2. Kindle books with Enhanced Typesetting enable a better reading experience by providing a series of typographical and layout features that are automatically enabled on Kindle books. It provides smoother word spacing with better hyphenation, drop caps that dynamically adjust with font size, kerning and ligature improvements, adaptive page layout and margins, allowing faster reading with less eyestrain. Visit http://www.amazon.com/betterreading for more information on Enhanced Typesetting.

Perhaps your finding about how large font sizes are handled is the only significant change in dropcaps for KFX. Amazon does not provide any details.

There was some discussion about nbsp characters in KFX
earlier in this thread. My understanding is that they are honored as long as they are not over used.
