font-timeout => timeout ? #3

font-timeout Pros:

self explanatory when used in CSS definitions to control the behavior of individual elements on the page (see second use case in the explainer)

Cons:

in a @font-face definition, font- feels awkward because it's not trying to mirror an actual font property.

+1 for font-timeout. The meaning is clear, it's consistent with other font-* properties (why is timeout not a property?) and it provides the needed namespace.. we may want to have other *-timeout properties for non-font resources.

Closing as we converged to something much better.
