Amazon's Enhanced Typesetting does drop caps in a similar way to initial-letter. During conversion to KFX format if the book is coded in a way that appears to be trying to produce a drop cap then kfxgen removes the original drop cap coding and replaces it with:
dropcap_chars: 1,
dropcap_lines: 3,
Where dropcap_chars indicates how many initial characters of the paragraph should be drop caps and dropcap_lines indicates how many lines high to make it. The drop cap automatically adjusts to the font, font size, line height, etc.
(Do you have any idea whether initial-letter is on a track to being standardized? The article that you linked is over three years old.)
