[css-font-loading] clarifying what happens to a CSS-connected FontFace when the rule is removed from Cameron McCormack on 2014-09-29 (www-style@w3.org from September 2014)

When an @font-face rule is removed from the document, its FontFace 
object is removed from the FontFaceSet (per 
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-font-loading/#document-font-face-set).  I 
think it would be good to explicitly mention in the last paragraph of 
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-font-loading/#font-face-css-connection that 
the FontFace object can stick around due to the author holding a 
reference to it, even though it is no longer in the FontFaceSet.
