Understood. I meant resource as in fonts, images, etc.

What does @font-face mean, though? Browsers parsing CSS will have a
good understanding of whether a URL is inside or outside @font-face.
However, other -- say, browser extensions -- can also read style
sheets and DOM can expose URLs. How will one ensure that URLs found
inside @font-face are always tagged as such further down in the
pipeline?

It seems cleaner to treat all URLs the same way.
