> Standard webfont font family with variable fonts, using a new 
woff2-variations format hint

There was a discussion during web fonts WG F2F meeting on how the 
format hints are not adequate to cover the granularity of the fonts. 
For example we have 4 OpenType color glyphs tables, or 3 different 
sets of layout tables and browsers support different combinations of 
them and the only way to get some of these features working across 
browsers and platforms is to ship the font with all of the tables and 
let the browser select which it supports (and then you can’t do that 
for some tables that has competing requirements). So I have been 
thinking may be we need a new capabilities hint that offers more 
granularity (can be a space or comma separated list) and leave the 
format hint for the font container as it is now.
