CSS Fonts Task Force?

FYI.

The planning page for next week's Paris CSS face-to-face includes a 
proposed agenda item

	# Discuss creation of a Fonts Task Force

http://wiki.csswg.org/planning/paris-2013#proposed-agenda-items

This was queried by John Daggett on the CSS list, and received this 
explanation from Dirk Schulze at Adobe:

	I added this agenda item as a follow up to
	the decision to create one during the CSS
	F2F in Hamburg.

	Maybe it is just an organization issue, but
	we spend several weeks on discussions about
	font issues. A TF on the other hand would be
	structured around fonts and font experts with
	more focus. I would even suggest to give the
	TF the right to make decisions and just leave
	a veto right to the CSS WG (discussions remain
	on the TF though).

	I am fine with discussing this on the mailing
	list instead or move the agenda item to our
	TPAC meeting.

I've already responded, noting that the make-up of such a task force 
would be likely to overlap considerably with that of the Webfonts WG, 
and wondering whether there might be formal role that we could play in 
such an initiative. Perhaps this is something on which Vlad and Chris 
might comment?

PS. Chris, can you post a link for the sign-up to express interest in 
Adam's proposed webfont profile community group?
