Indeed. Instead of writing 

    @font-face {
        font-family: Headline;
        src: url(http://example.com/fonts/hdl);
    }
    ...
    h1 {font-family: Headline, serif}

you would write:

    h1 { font-familiy: Headline, url(http://example.com/fonts/hdl.zip), serif }

It's an obvious simplification. So obvious that several people --
including Dave Raggett and Dave Hyatt -- independently have proposed
it.
