Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts][css-fonts-4] CSS Fonts 4 needs a proper Security and Privacy Considerations section (#4697)

In terms of security, at least Chrome and Firefox use the [OpenType Font Sanitizer](https://github.com/khaledhosny/ots) whose reason for existence is:

> However, on many platforms the system-level TrueType font renderers have never been part of the attack surface before, and putting them on the front line is a scary proposition... Especially on platforms like Windows, where it's a closed-source blob running with high privilege.

There is currently no mention of this security aspect in the specification, so it seems that should go into this Security and Privacy section.
