I cannot say that I like or dislike it, but in fact AUCTeX is already
using it in order to allow a user to specify lists of LaTeX macros
which should get a special fontification. For the special
fontification one can either select a face already present or specify
face attributes. Without the possibility to use face attributes the
choices would be rather limited if you don't expect a user to define
his own faces.
I hope this feature will stay and mentioning it in the documentation
for `font-lock-keywords' would make me feel more confident that it
will.
