One of the things that I find unsettling -- upsetting even -- about Opera ignoring the SOR requirement is that it seems a big step backwards to the sometimes less than friendly arguments of *two* summers ago, which invites the unhappy tone you diagnosed in my message. I really thought we were past that, had been working well together, and were close to a broadly uncontroversial web font standard with clearly defined conformance requirements for both font producers and consumers. So seeing Opera apparently choose to ignore one of the conformance requirements of the specification that they co-sponsored is perplexing and contrary to expectations of where we are and the good will that got us here.
