Perhaps the current situation is because not enough people are bothered by this, so not enough people are giving it enough thought to come up with a solution...
Maybe the solution is as simple as removing the "src:" line from your CSS if the font is in the system default location. I can see that you would need to specify "src" for an embedded font (which is what you originally had), and it would always be correct on any system because it is relative to the document's file structure. However, it might be the wrong thing to do for system fonts.
