The question is not difficulty, I don't think it's the right
behavior to require font fallback for UVS selectors.  It doesn't
make sense to me the way the Unicode spec is written, it doesn't
make sense from given the way other font variant features work
and it doesn't make sense to me from a performance perspective.

If you think there's an actual use case that warrants fallback to
find a font that supports a particular UVS, please describe it in
detail.
