Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Address missing aspect of Progressive Enhancement in font loading

If the goal is to allow arbitrary properties to apply to elements 
during a font load, we have to be careful of what happens if these 
arbitrary properties trigger yet another font load. For example, we 
need to consider the case where, during a font download, an element is
 styled with "font-family," thereby causing another download. This 
could be mitigated by either disallowing properties consulted during 
font selection, or, by browsers simply detecting the above conditions 
and not following the chain. (Or the browsers could faithfully honor 
the chain, but I don't think anybody wants that.)
