TPAC discussion led to some questions:

1. "optional" might be doable with Resource Hints instead - jdaggett
wants us to investigate this.
2. We need to define when the timeout starts counting.
3. We probably need an "auto" value for letting the UA do what it
wants, particularly as browsers seem to have behavior that is subtly
more complex than what is being defined here.  For example, jdaggett
said that Firefox's behavior is actually that when the initial 3s
timeout expires, if the font has started downloading, it sets a second
timeout that lets it go on a little longer.
