Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-5] Details of `format()` and `technology()` values (#6864)

IIRC there are old versions of WebKit on macOS that support "variations-truetype" but not "variations-cff2." However, those old versions wouldn't be getting updates any more. In the interest of steering people toward the right answer (aka the "pit of success" idea), I'm sympathetic to @drott's idea about avoiding combinations which don't actually exist in the wild.

> `incremental` [is] about how the font data is packaged and delivered, not about the rendering technologies that are supported. Should it be a new value of `format()` rather than `technology()`?

I don't know if putting it in `technology()` is the right solution, but putting it in `format()` is probably the wrong solution. It isn't a format, and all the incremental delivery technologies can work with all formats.
