There are 2 notations, i.e. quoted string and plain keyword, for 3 namespaces, i.e. `@font-face`, installed typeface and generic font family names, but the latter cannot clash with the others when they are in quoted strings. For precedence rules, the different notations are currently not distinguished, though.
- W3C/specification-defined, global generic font family names _must not_ be quoted
- vendor/platform-defined, external local typeface names _should_ be quoted – ideally change to _must_
- author/stylesheet-defined, internal custom font face names _may_(?) be quoted
Perhaps, this
~~~~ ebnf
<'font-family'>: [ <family-name> | <generic-family> ]#
~~~~
could be changed to this
~~~~ ebnf
<'font-family'>: [ <typeface> | <generic-family> ]#;
<typeface>: <family-name> | " <family-name> ";
~~~~
Perhaps, `font-family: "foo"` could imply `@font-face {font-family: "foo"; src: local(foo)}` and `font-family: foo` could imply `@font-face {font-family: foo; src: generic(foo), local(foo)}`.
