I understand that there will always be use cases when mandatory support for it would not be practical (mobile browsers, printers, document processors (e.g. Prince), but the fact on the grounds is exactly as Sylvain put it - 'all' (i.e. at least all PC versions) UAs would have to do this to reap the full rewards - for font vendors, for web authors and for end users. I understand the complexities involved in making this decision but I would really like to give it a chance. Thank you, Vlad
