The WOFF WD has two appendices that describe best practices: http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-WOFF-20100727/#appendix-b http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-WOFF-20100727/#appendix-c These were discussed in a June telcon: ACTION: jonathan to create non-normative best practices appendix http://www.w3.org/2010/06/02-webfonts-minutes.html The appendices are not labelled as non-normative in the WD, I suggest we add this text to each of them: This appendix is informative, not normative. Like here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/sample.html Further, I suggest one change to appendix C: The WOFF-packaged data will typically be decoded to its original sfnt format for use by existing font-rendering APIs that expect OpenType font data, but such a decoded font should not be exposed as a file on disk, and must not be installed "globally" for use by other processes or documents on the system. should be: The WOFF-packaged data will typically be decoded to its original sfnt format for use by existing font-rendering APIs that expect OpenType font data. It is acceptable for clients to store decoded files in a cache, but decoded files should not be installed for use by other processes or documents on the system. I.e., I think it's ok for browsers to cache decoded files, but they shouldn't be exposed in other ways. Cheers, -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª howcome@opera.com http://people.opera.com/howcome
