RE: WOFF and extended metadata

Sylvain>I don't see why I should leave authors and users hanging
because someone screwed up a bit of XML neither have anything to do
with. And do so after wasting CPU cycles parsing data no one will read
in
the vast majority of cases.

You should not ever leave authors or users waiting for bad software or
data. I think we all agree on that.

Sylvain>A trade-off is being requested from browser vendors, authors
and users here. I think it's fair to expect font vendors to justify
this and clearly explain what expectations they have and why and how
this
proposal fulfills  them.

By “this proposal”, do you mean the proposal for the existence of the
Extended MetaData Block? or the requirement to parse the EMDB at the
user’s request?
