[css3-fonts] Value issues

In the CSS Fonts Module [1] (yet this may affect more CSS drafts) I
suggest to “not repeat yourself” [2] in property values.

For example, “font-variant-ligatures” currently envisions values like
“common-ligatures” or “additional-ligatures”. Naming them “common” or
“additional” would be shorter and hence easier to remember while not
being any harder to understand (“ligatures” is already part of the
property name).

The same applies at least to “font-variant-numeric” which might
benefit from the values “lining”, “old[style]”, “proportonial”, and
“tabular” instead of “lining-nums” etc.
