Current CR status for WOFF 1.0

Hello public-webfonts-wg,

WOFF 1.0 continues to be in CR while we wait for
implementations to fix bugs so we meet CR exit criteria.

CR published 24 Aug 2011
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-WOFF-20110804/
ED updated to remove features at risk, 4 Jan 2012
http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF/spec/


WOFF 1.0 marks up all conformable statements, and we have 100% test
coverage for those statements. Conformance is defined for three
things:

- user agents
  CR criteria NOT met on 14 of 291 tests
  http://w3c-test.org/framework/review/woff-ua/
  implementations aggregated into four independent groups 
  (Gecko Presto Trident WebKit)
  all implementations fail in the overlapping tables 
  and extraneous data tests. Working on getting the 
  browsers to fix their bugs.
  Tal Leming is writing a second implementation of the 
  (optional) woff metadata display feature.

- authoring tools
   CR criteria met on 24 of 24 tests
   http://w3c-test.org/framework/review/woff-at/
   three implementations  (FontSquirrel sfnt2woff woffTools)
   trying to get fontforge to fix their bug which causes 
   all tests to fail, but we don't need that to exit CR

- woff files themselves
  CR criteria met
  implementations are the individual woff files
  we have a validator that tests all spec assertions,
  http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF/tools/validator/ 
  and a test suit of 303 tests to exercise the validator
http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF/tests/Format/Tests/xhtml1/testcaseindex.xht
  validator passes 100% of tests
  most fonts found in the wild are valid, apart from those 
  made with fontforge, which have one error.
