It seems to me that the font options that are face-dependent (like selecting
particular alternates) should be in the @font-face rule, since only there
can you associate options with a particular face. Font options that are
face-independent (i.e., font options that be applied correctly even without
knowing in advance which face will be used, like small-caps) should be
regular CSS properties.
