css3-fonts doesn't say anything about whether @font-face rules are required to appear in a particular position in a stylesheet (as is the case for e.g. @charset and @import), nor does it say which style rules can make use of family names defined by @font-face rules. Since the font matching algorithm happens after value computation, I see no technical reason why @font-face rules should be restricted to appear (e.g.) before all style rules, or before all style rules that use the family name they define, within a single style sheet. I could make a case for family names defined by @font-face not being visible to other style sheets in a document, but I think they definitely should be visible in both directions across an @import. Regardless of the decision this should be spelled out explicitly in css3-fonts. zw
