this is not the place to elaborate on this (more for the usual font bof session at bachotek) but to some extend it's a packaging issue: why a full smallcaps embedded but not an italic
Actually, you can do that with OpenType: there is an 'ital' feature, and using it would allow to embed italic correction information within the fonts. You can't do that with fonts of different design sizes, alas. Arthur
