Is there anything you can actually do today with a font in a worker? It
seems like this should be put at-risk immediately  :-)

The spec doesn't mention anything about CORS or fetching. Should it not
reference or at least mention it?
You can construct a 'FontFace' with random data. Wouldn't that be
dangerous? Also, passing invalid font data should fail somehow but your
algorithm doesn't cover that.
