Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] [varfont] Problem setting up a "4-style family" with variable fonts

Seems like this discussion stalled. Has it moved elsewhere?

If we want to be able to define 'keyword norms' in the `@font-face` declaration, it seems like this syntax makes a lot of sense:

```
@font-face {
        font-family: Hamstervar;
        src: url("Hamstervar-VF.ttf");
        font-stretch: normal;
        font-weight: normal,
        font-variation-settings: "wdth" 85, "wght" 327; 
}

@font-face {
        font-family: Hamstervar;
        src: url("Hamstervar-VF.ttf");
        font-weight: bold,
        font-variation-settings: "wght" 572; 
}

@font-face {
        font-family: Hamstervar;
        src: url("Hamstervar-VF.ttf");
        font-stretch: expanded;
        font-weight: bold,
        font-variation-settings: "wdth" 112, "wght" 572; 
}

```
This would allow us to define what the default rendering of `font-family: Hamstervar` would look like, just as it would then allow us to define `font-weight bold` or `font-stretch: expanded; font-weight: bold`

I'd certainly like to see this more clearly defined so we know what we're working towards (and can then explain/teach it in our talks and workshops!)
