ADE 4.5.x/RMSDK 12.5.x supports letter-spacing but only in epub3 books.

Well, crap, I just discovered this myself with an ebook I'm working on, had a whole pile of instances where I had words that needed to be spread out with more letter spacing, where I'd previously kludged it by inserting extra spaces in-between each character instead.
Then today, among other little improvements, I went through my entire book and changed those numerous instances by getting rid of all those extra spaces (and making those words now searchable in the process!) and giving them all extra letter spacing.
Worked find in Sigil, previewed perfectly... but when I opened my book in ADE (desktop PC) the letter spacing was all gone.
What the heck? That totally sucks -- I just went through this whole thread from years ago, but didn't really find any reasonable solution...
...other than to go back and change everything back to putting extra spaces in-between characters (and losing the searchability of those words).
Is there really no solution to this for epub2? I can't see myself converting my book to epub3 just to have letter spacing. How very strange that the CSS for letter spacing doesn't work.
