Wouldn't this issue be better solved on a higher level, introducing a 
syntax for specifying font parameters like discussed in #126 and 
specifically in [this 
post](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/126#issuecomment-221620009),
 which [Tab Atkins thought was a good 
idea](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/126#issuecomment-221673217)?

For example:
```css

@font-face { /* load fonts */ }

@font-stack --name {
    Alegreya,

    Georgia { font-size: 0.975em; },

    serif
}

p {
    font-family: Alegreya, Georgia, serif; /* fallback for old 
browsers */
    font-family: var(--name); /* call to the new  @font-stack rule */
}
```
