Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Proposed revisions to "Low-level font variation settings control".

After discussing this during F2F break, the following are things to do:
1) Add text encouraging authors to use predefined font properties for known/standardized variation axis, e.g. use 'font-weight 700' instead of 'font-variation-setting: wght 700';
2) Add text clarifying that the use of font variation settings does not affect font selection where fallback font is to be used, where using font properties for the same axis would have an effect on font selection. Discourage using mix of known and custom axis tags within the same font-variation-setting control.
3) in section 8.2, clarify wording of the 5th paragraph for axis handling, saying e.g.: "If a given axis is not supported by a font, its value setting is ignored and therefore has no effect; ... "
4) Similarly, it might be useful to modify the language of the 6th paragraph to say: "If a variation axis is supported by a font but its set value is greater or less than the predefined font range, it will be clamped to the closest value supported by the font."
