Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] @font-family src: should accept a specifier which lists font requirements

Wait, wouldn't they disregard up to the comma? And if so, isn't that *exactly* what we want? If old browsers (that don't understand `features()` ) are also old browsers (that don't understand variations) then this prevents old browsers from attempting to use the variable font. They go on to the fallback font.

So [my example](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/633#issuecomment-340527309) means they would reject fancy-font and use fallback-font instead.

> Therefore, we should go with the format("opentype", requires variations) proposal.

But without the comma, right?
