Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4][css-nesting] Nesting of @supports inside @font-face and font technology feature queries (#6520) from Chris Lilley via GitHub on 2021-10-06 (public-css-archive@w3.org from October 2021)

We would also need to test what happens with

```css
@font-format {
  font-family: foo;
  src: url("foo.woff") format("color-COLRv1");
}
```
because I suspect with an omitted actual format, the font is assumed to be an unsupported format and is not loaded.

In general the whole `format()` thing is a buggy hack with huge backwards-compatible fragility; adding anything is highly constrained and we can't do good design in this space. I would be much happier with (as we originally resolved)

1. dropping [supports &lt;font-technology>#]? from `@font-face` `src` entirely
2. using the conditional features in Conditional 4 instead, together with `font-technology()`
