Given this discussion thread, i have ammended the draft charter to note that this is an area of disagreement and to ask for feedback from other reviewers.

http://www.w3.org/2009/08/WebFonts/charter.html

  There appeared to be consensus on www-font that requiring at least
  two formats gave a fair and even playing field and maximised
  interoperability, but recent discussions have questioned this. An
  alternative 'pick one format and require it for compliance' has been
  suggested; feedback on these conformance requirements is encouraged.
