+			To increase the chance that an ''optional'' font will be available
+			in time to use for rendering some text,
+			it is recommended that the user agent employ heuristics
+            to make it faster to access
+            or to judge when it would be worthwhile to delay rendering some text,
+			such as checking if the font is preloaded in HTML,
+			or moving the file from slower to faster in-memory caches
+			as soon as it is seen in a stylesheet
+			(before it's known whether it will be used on the page).
+
+			These heuristics cannot be relied upon by authors, however;
+			it must be understood that the ''optional'' value
+			can result in the font never being used.
+			If a somewhat higher assurance of the font being used is needed,
+			authors should consider using the ''fallback'' value.
