I don't think we want to interpret or speculate over an IRC log excerpt. We could contact both individuals to clarify the matter. There is nothing we can do or require that would prevent any OS vendor from deciding that they will add a system call that does all the magic needed for any app that so desires to use a WOFF-encoded font. We can certainly require that browsers not install downloaded font resources on a permanent basis on the user's system. (And we still should imo) But we can't really prevent the system itself from letting users handle a WOFF file the way they use any TTF. Which still wouldn't change browsers' behavior does i.e. they'd still use the fonts they downloaded on a temporary basis.
