What is the danger of sharing fonts between pages, if they could be  
somehow verified to be the same font first, which would really be a  
prerequisite to doing so (to prevent abuse to the page from another  
site's pages). If it is the same font, and only existed in the  
browser's RAM, then how can that hurt font vendors? All it does is  
prevent the same font from having to load twice.
