What do you mean "has no rootstrings"? You'd want IE (<=8) to process
rootstrings contained in EOTL, to make it easier for authors to comply with
font licensing.

Seems to me it would be simplest to require the EOTL embedding level bits to
be exactly 0x0008. The other values don't make sense for Web fonts.
