Summary [@font-face] show fallback text after a short time while a font downloads

Example: Go to http://people.mozilla.com/~jkew/woff/udhr-sample/index.html. Choose the 3rd option for display; it's a *large* font download, so you see a delay. The text will stay invisible the entire time. This effect is exacerbated on mobile devices and in low-bandwidth situations, preventing the user from seeing any text. The solution that's been considered in www-style is to use a fallback font (whatever is next in the stack) after a few seconds if the font hasn't downloaded/isn't ready.
