Sure, but no fallback is needed for the first font in the list, which is what I'm most concerned about here: declarations that are just `font-family: webfont, sans-serif;`.

(If you have a whole stack of fonts it shouldn't be a surprise that later ones, being clearly less important, might get skipped by "optional".)
