The W3C is proposing a revised charter for:

This is proposing a new work item for the group, Progressive Font
Enrichment, to allow progressive download of subsets of the font's
glyph repetoire.
I think we should support it.
While web fonts have been widely used on English websites, it is rarely found
on Chinese websites as far as I can see, and I believe lack of native support
of some progressive loading for fonts with large character set is the main
reason impeding such adoption.
Agreed, we should support this. Once it reaches the point where there's
a firm specification, I expect it's something we'll want to integrate
into Firefox as part of our webfont support.
(I'm anticipating that most of the actual development of a spec, and
probably of a reference implementation, will be tackled by some of the
other WG members who have long had a strong interest in this; but we'll
want to monitor the development and eventually adopt the result.)
