My personal branch of Emacs has this feature too. E.g., I have
proportional fonts turned on by default in Gnus *Article* buffers, and
even in this message composition buffer (and I can toggle it in a buffer
with `C-c C-v').
Because of disagreement about random implementation details with RMS,
this isn't in the CVS trunk, but it's a reasonably simple patch (it's a
C-level change though, not lisp-level).
[I assume that the details will be worked out in the future, and such a
feature included in a future version of Emacs, but I find it too
exhausting to argue (with RMS) about, especially with a release pending,
so I'm not pushing right now.]
