possibly fix #691

I was only able to get the unguided runs to pass 3/5 times, and that was with a decent amount of horseplay with the tasks to actively make them worse. By default it was passing 5/5 unguided.
Similar to #755, I was not sure if that meant we should reconsider the value of the topic for a guide.

Per the new use-case guide process, step 1 is just the stub guide.md
frontmatter and a demo.html. Removes body of guide.md and
expectations.md (belongs to step 2).

This feature isn't a blocker for I/O, so I'm going to set this PR to draft. After I/O, but before marking it ready for review, could you add any other relevant use cases for the feature? Most features have between 2–5 use cases, but it's ok if there's truly just one.

This use case looks good. I have questions about how to integrate this with fluid typography, how to make sure that the user can still scale type using CTRL +/- for example, and making sure it doesn't negatively impact users without support, but those can all be worked out as the guide is written.
