That would be nice but there's no standard for that and nothing
in the font data that contains a name like that.  I think for
something like this to work CSS would need to define a table of
friendly names to feature tags.

The advantage of allowing simple tags is that it would work for
features registered after the CSS3 Fonts spec is completed.

Still, it's a good idea I think.
