Anne, have you read my attempted summary of why a format distinction such as WOFF makes font makers more comfortable than serving naked TTF fonts? I don't want to argue the point any more than I have already over the past year, especially not when we've got at last to the working group stage and have the support I think we need to make WOFF a realistic web font standard. But I do like people to understand where the font makers are coming from, just as I've made an effort to understand the perspective of browser developers. JH
