cdoublev has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-fonts-4] Remove `@character-variant` ==
Follow-up to this [comment](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9926#issuecomment-2017241274):
> I think the introduction of `@historical-forms` and `CSSFontFeatureValuesRule.historicalForms` was an accident.
As explained in the preceding comment, [`font-variant-alternates: historical-forms`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-variant-alternates) is a toggle feature. There is no set of feature values to enable/configure with `@font-features-values name { @historical-forms { <font-feature-value-name>: <font-feature-index> } }`.
The first appearance of `@historical-forms` was in 5f06f59 after b6c4ba8.
The main browsers do not seem to support/recognize it.
