The spec says to queue a task to set the values of style, variant, etc. 
on a FontFace from the values that come from the constructor's 
dictionary argument.  What values do you get if you inspect them before 
that task has run?  As with the similar issue of CSS-connected FontFaces 
where the @font-face rule doesn't have the corresponding descriptor, two 
reasonable choices would be "" or the default value of the descriptor.

Why are the descriptors parsed asynchronously anyway?
