Re: [css3-fonts] new editor's draft

Would it not be easier to define another property for the '@font-face' 
at-rule that specify how the behaviour is, rather than using two specifics 
syntaxes ?

@font-face {
    font-family: MyFont;
    src: local('F1'), local('F2');
    fallback: use-next;
}

I agree with the comment wich say that two declarations with the same name 
should behave as any other duplicate : the latter wins over the first.
