I'm concerned that SOR-for-WOFF might eventually ebb away if it's not completely supported at the outset. You could credibly argue that Opera's market share is too insignificant to worry about, but if there's a particular market or region where Opera dominates (or comes to dominate), then the impact of cross-site linking becomes more worrisome. Certain foundries might want to concentrate on specific markets or regions, and if they find that Opera has, say, a 60% share there, then it's a problem. -Christopher
