Yes, but it has to work both ways, this would also be a sufficient technique for the new SC. I.e. if you use font icons that are problematic when fonts are replaced, then it musts be marked up appropriately.
It would also need to be included as something in the testing text (understanding doc), and recommended for user-agent side solutions.

Correct, but if this is a known thing included in the techniques and understanding document, there is a viable solution.
