I'll be there today.

I'd like to find consensus on text about SOR. The current editor's
draft states:

  The WebFonts WG believes that the default Same-Origin restriction
  would be better applied to all fonts referenced from @font-face,
  rather than one specific format. Therefore, if CSS3 Fonts
  [CSS3-Fonts] adds a normative requirement for a Same-Origin
  restriction, the WebFonts WG will drop it from the WOFF
  specification and instead refer to CSS3 Fonts.

I think this is too specific; I believe WOFF can be well served by a
more general SOR mechanism which is not defined by the CSS WG (which,
arguably, should not be no more concerned about HTTP headers than the
Fonts WG). I therefore suggest language along the lines of:

  The Fonts WG believes that a mechanism for having Same-Origin
  restrictions on fonts -- WOFF as well as other fonts -- is
  beneficial. The exact mechanism is not defined in this
  specification.

This encodes what we all agree on, no?

Cheers,
