I don’t know. It sounds easier to convince Google and other font 
providers to allow something like this:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Foo&range=U+26);

… than spec a new CSS feature, make sure it’s well defined, convince 
browser vendors to implement it, and wait for it to be deployed widely 
enough.
