Specifying font resource size limits in IMSC

Good morning/evening,

Issue #472 [1] suggests adding support for font resource to IMSC.

IMSC implicitly specifies size limits for image resources through its HRM [2].

The primary question in my mind is: are there any reason not to
specify similar limits on font resources?

If not, then some follow-up questions:

- what are reasonable limits?
- Should the limits be expressed in bytes and/or number of glyphs?
- does a font/otf resource need to be processed/downloaded in its
entirety if only a subset of glyps are used?

I recommend reaching out to other groups for their input, either now
or explicitly after FPWD.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best,
