Indeed. Instead of writing
@font-face {
font-family: Headline;
src: url(http://example.com/fonts/hdl);
}
...
h1 {font-family: Headline, serif}
you would write:
h1 { font-familiy: Headline, url(http://example.com/fonts/hdl.zip), serif }
It's an obvious simplification. So obvious that several people --
including Dave Raggett and Dave Hyatt -- independently have proposed
it.
