Not quite sure what you're describing here. As the spec is currently
written, font-variant values within an @font-face rule apply *only* to
that font face. So with your definition above, the styleset(1,3)
setting would only apply to MyFancyFont, not to Gabriola in the fallback
case:
h3 { font-family: MyFancyFont, Gabriola; }
Perhaps you were suggesting something along the lines of option (3) in
the original post?
