Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Review Request for OpenType Variable Fonts Additions to CSS Fonts Module Level 4 (#183)

So a few thoughts:

* this is yet another property that really would work a lot better if CSS had an option for additive cascading (appending to the list rather than replacing the overridden value)
* `font-feature-settings` shouldn't really be seen as a good model to follow; it's a property that doesn't work well within CSS's design (though introducing additive cascading would help), and the recommended way to use the majority of the features exposed by `font-feature-settings` is via the `font-variant-*` properties.  That said, I don't see a better solution here, although I wonder if the spec should also explicitly point to `font-weight`, `font-stretch`, etc.  I also wonder whether those properties should become continuous rather than discrete.  (I think there was some discussion in the working group of making at least `font-weight` continuous.)
