I'm looking at thing like the recent experience of the HTML5 WG - the collapse around <video> and so forth.... My objection in part to using the license record of the name table of particular font formats is that it implies a design principle wherein for every single damn media file format of any kind, we need to add new rules for the equivalent of interpreting a "license record of the name table". A generic solution - a container format - a wrapper format - can nail the issue once and for all across all media types. -t
