Yes, I think I would want to be able to specify "font-numeral-case:
old-style" for an @font-face font but "font-numeral-case: lining" for
the fallbacks.

But something like Etan's suggestions are needed.

I think the most important thing is that it isn't font-format
specific: although today OpenType is very popular, Graphite has
important features not available anywhere else, and new formats will
certainly appear.
