What about fonts which are not licensed under an open source compatible license. What about fonts that are not "common" but are used by some popular Web site? Your request is doomed to failure. Like it or not, Web authors have been given the power by Web fonts to have total control of the fonts on their Web pages, and they ARE using that power. Any attempt by a low market share browser to change that fact is doomed to blow back on that browser.

I'm sure they can afford to buy rights to important non open source fonts or fund the design of similarly looking open source fonts to ship as aliases. There is no reason for the madness with fonts to continue.
