I think I'd say that I am not initially very excited about the idea of using access control, but I am still considering it and have certainly not ruled it out. Mostly I'm trying to make sure I understand all the implications before trying to determine a position on it for Adobe. I still have the concern that even if Adobe were willing to license fonts for a particular kind of web usage scheme, if most other foundries are not, that situation does not meet Adobe's overall goal of something that meets web designers' needs (even if it would be good for Adobe).
