Rather than modify @font-face, I suspect the correct approach would be
to define a fragment identifier syntax (the part of a url after the #)
that points into a TTC.

A similar tactic would allow pointing into a zip file which holds
several font files (its common for free fonts to come in a zip with a
readme and licence text files, and for the licence to prohibit
redistribution except as the complete zip. This was how people ensured
the font and its license travelled together, in pre-WOFF days).

So a TTC is a single file containing multiple sfnt streams. What is
the official defining document?
