Does shareable mean that you can permanently install the font, use the font on other pages while the page with @font-face is open, or ???
If the first, I can have a page that fills up the memory on your machine and take a long time to download a lot of fonts that may be good or ely bad...and you might not even know. This is evil from a security point of view. Could be mitigated by only downloading the font(s) used on the page that are not already installed. This seems to be a font distribution mechanism rather than a CSS styling technique.
If the second, one needs a reference counting mechanism or the font will be removed from use with an opened page.

Subject: My solution of webfonts problem
We could add some property to @font-face, eg.:
@font-face
{
font-family: "SomeFont";
src: url("font.ttf");
shareable: yes; // yes || no
}
