The Working Group just discussed `Variation axes not discoverable`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: css-font-loading, level TBD`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> Topic: Variation axes not discoverable<br>
&lt;fantasai> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/520<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: One of the requests we got from ppl who make websites who like typography<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: There's no way for them to know what to put in their font-feature-settings and font-variant-settings properties<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: Right now they are parsing the font with JS to pull out the tables<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: So trying to think of ways that a browser could make this data available to web content<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: Best way I could think of was to hang off of Tab’s fontFace object<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: defined in font loading spec<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: New attribute on existing object<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: That gives a bunch of info about the font<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> My proposal for the IDL for this https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/520#issuecomment-386153230<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: Just wanted to check on general idea of extending fontFace like this<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: Well I like the idea<br>
&lt;fantasai> TabAtkins: I'm for it<br>
&lt;fantasai> TabAtkins: I think this is the right place to put it, good approach for it<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: Tab's better at writing APIs, so we can use his suggestion if we think it's a good idea<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: Any concerns about adding all this info?<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: Instead of new UD, maybe another level?<br>
&lt;fantasai> myles: ...<br>
&lt;fantasai> TabAtkins: Let me see how mature the css-font-loading spec actually is, and then we'll decide<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: So, proposal is add it to css-font-loading, level TBD?<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: Any objections?<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: css-font-loading, level TBD<br>
