I think it's fine to say that the WOFF font format is intended for use with fonts on the web, it's not intended to be a general-use font format. Any wording beyond the scope of user agent behavior is not the domain of the spec, it's the domain of the font license which is the correct place for it. One note here, the same-origin restriction is applied in resource loading code which is completely separate from embedded font loading API's. Cheers, John Daggett
