I think it should state something to the effect that if an @font-face 
with the same face nam is declared in multiple places then the most recent declration in the 
current media block is to be used and other ones ignored.

I'll agree with it being an import not an include, but that second 
point of efficiency seems fairly doubtful.

While your solution may be fine for authors of style sheets, it is 
difficult to maintain that grouping while doing a specific CSS 
editor, and having user-named media components would be helpful, 
maybe @section is better than using @media for this.
