OK.  Should they be? :-)  At least for the empty string, given that 
implementations seem to agree that the @font-face isn't defined, can we 
make that an error that causes the rule to be ignored (just like the 
lack of a font-family or src descriptor)?  And therefore |new 
FontFace("''", ...)| as well.
