We are now facing this with font features, font variations, and color fonts. The current system of making longer and longer hyphenated format keywords won't work in the long term.

I don't think we want more microsyntaxes in CSS. They wreak havoc on object models.
Beyond that, I don't think we have any preference for `format("opentype", requires variations)` over `format("woff2") features("CPAL,FVAR")` or vice-versa (though we probably wouldn't use the keyword `features`).
This is becoming increasingly important, and we should pick one and add it to the spec.
