It's quite nice to be able to only download the font if you need characters
from that font. For example that lets you specify a downloadable font to be
used only if the system fonts don't have specific characters you need. The
proposal I made supports that case. Your suggestion (and David's suggestion)
doesn't. (But I think your suggestions would be worth having anyway.)
