I read it as saying there can be at most 0..3 bytes of padding, but no more; and that any padding must only be sufficient to take it to the next longword boundary. I seem to recall discussion that the OT spec required padding between tables but was silent or ambiguous about padding after the last table. LV> 3.

Yes; but its no longer a note because its now the definition of (some) characteristics of a well formed input file, so normative. -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups
