Comment(by sjamaan):

 Currently web fonts are in flux, there are at least three formats out
 there that are accepted by browsers.  I'd prefer to wait till things
 settle (if they ever do: people in control of patents are assholes, that's
 why there are a gazillion video formats) and then add one line for
 whatever font format wins this war.

 The problem is the web is way too hype-driven. Every week a new format is
 invented and everyone scrambles to support it.  I prefer to call bullshit
 on that.  If a user needs to have obscure format of the week, they can:
 that's why it's a parameter :)

 But for the long term, I'd like to have a clean rule for what gets added
 when. Right now I've focused on a minimum set of formats you'd need for
 very plain and simple sites.  Multimedia formats are a rat-race I'd like
 to stay well away from right now.  I think the current set of supported
 extensions/mime types is pretty stable and unlikely to be outdated soon
 (except, hopefully, the .ico one; that might disappear soon with IE6 and
 WinXP, and I'd be very happy to nuke it from the list).
