I'm not sure what I've done to you to deserve this condescending
treatment. I thought we were on better terms. Anyway, I can understand
there might be reasons for a new font format that are beyond my
comprehension. As I said elsewhere, I am mostly just surprised that
shifting a few bits around makes people more comfortable.

However, irrespective of WOFF I made comments on the same-origin policy
and how the proposed design here clashes with the existing design for the
same-origin policy and how I do not think that is a good idea. While by
not attending several meetings my knowledge about fonts may be greatly
limited (HÃ¥kon and I do discuss these things...), I like to think I know a
thing or two about the same-origin policy, being author/editor of
XMLHttpRequest and CORS. I also made a suggestion for how we could let
sites limit cross-origin usage by having a From-Origin header. Other than
out of charter rhetoric I have not heard much back.
