I agree with the position that all resource types should behave consistently and predictably. In my experience implementing web properties for the past 15 years, this means a more permissive default rather than a more restrictive default. 

Having one resource type behave differently or unexpectedly relative to other resource types will decrease overall adoption.

From my perspective, web fonts (still) have significant challenges to their adoption. Challenges quite outside the scope of this WG. I'd rather not see more obstacles constructed.
