In lispref/display.texi, this comment is before face-attribute-relative-p:

      The functions above did not exist before Emacs 21.  For compatibility
    with older Emacs versions, you can use the following functions to set
    and examine the face attributes which existed in those versions.

Does this really apply to face-attribute-relative-p and
merge-face-attribute?  I do not see why.
