Make examples in designspace specification compliant to OpenType spec

Browse Source 
Before this change, the designspace specification was using examples
whose values (for width and weight) would be in violation of the
OpenType specification.

Added a link to the relevant part of the OpenType specification,
so that people can easier find it.

@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ A couple of differences between things that use designspaces:
* MutatorMath and Superpolator will extrapolate over the boundaries of the axes. Varlib can not.
* Varlib requires much less data to define an instance than MutatorMath.
* The goals of Varlib and MutatorMath are different, so not all attributes are always needed.
* Need to expand the description of FDK use of deisgnspace files.
* Need to expand the description of FDK use of designspace files.
The DesignSpaceDocument object can read and write .designspace data. It imports the axes, sources and instances to very basic **descriptor** objects that store the data in attributes. Data is added to the document by creating such descriptor objects, filling them with data and then adding them to the document. This makes it easy to integrate this object in different contexts.

* `tag`: string. Four letter tag for this axis. Some might be registered at the [OpenType specification](https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/fvar.htm#VAT). Privately-defined axis tags must begin with an uppercase letter and use only uppercase letters or digits.
* `name`: string. Name of the axis as it is used in the location dicts. MutatorMath + Varlib.
* `labelNames`: dict. When defining a non-registered axis, it will be necessary to define user-facing readable names for the axis. Keyed by xml:lang code. Varlib.
* `minimum`: number. The minimum value for this axis. MutatorMath + Varlib.
