PeterCon has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-fonts-4] definition for src descriptor and local(), data() == The syntax for the @ font-face src descriptor value is given as [ <url> [ format( <string> # )]? | <font-face-name> ] # Later in the css-fonts-4 draft, in "Terms defined by reference", it states that <url> is defined in css-values-3. This is a useful addition since fonts level 3 gave no specification for this. However, css-fonts-3 and the css-fonts-4 draft also discuss use of a src value with "local(...)". And in practice, cases of "data(..)" have been used. The css-values-3 doesn't mention either of these. Thus, formally per these specs, it's not clear how "local(...)" or "data(...)" are syntactically valid, even though it appears that the intent is to allow them. Thus, the src descriptor syntax should be revised to include <url>|<local>|<data>, with the latter two defined, or else some external reference should provide these.
