   jdaggett: here are the minutes. lots of tangential discussion, Bert
   complained its http-centric and so on
   ... at least the method of restriction is http-centric. but really
   that is an issue with ftp etc not with our spec
   ... all the implementors seem ok with it already
   ... not clear if SOR at risk is enouh to move forward
   ... peter Linss suggested it was not CSS WG problem but WebFonts WG
   problem
   ... but it elongs where @font-face is defined

   Vlad: it started here but was proposed to apply to all font formats
   ... read the minute sand there was no clear decision

   jdaggett: problem was tangential discussions
   ... Bert did not propose a credible alternative and it did not seem
   relevant
   ... implementors agree some form of SOR is a good thing

   Vlad: discussed this with him at AC meeting and Bert agreed at the
   time
   ... and agreed fonts not reallyy like images, in the minutes

CSS WG report on @font-face

   jdaggett: its a big rathole
   ... Bert always seems to say EOT is better and so on

   Vlad: any specific objections?

   jdaggett: no, just diffuse discussion. Florian from Opera said
   current wording was acceptable
   ... depends if wording is good enough for CR

   Vlad: clear its better to SOR based on the font link in @font-face

   jdaggett: Peter's point was tha CSS WG should not decide but its
   part of te @font-face mechanism. He wanted someone else to solve it
   somewhere
   ... if that mechansm happens to cover things other than fonts then
   good but we dont have consensus on that
   ... any way we can pre-flight the wording?

   ChrisL: will ask PLH

   Vlad: note the concern that this could delay CSS3 Fonts
   ... can we facilitate that decision?

   ChrisL: we can send a liaison saying we want to depend on that
   feature

   jdaggett: we don't really have any strong objections at this point

   Vlad: what is Google's position, do we know?

   jdaggett: Tab was involved but not at this meeting. Unclear

   Vlad: Tab said it was easy to implement in webkit

   jdaggett: needs negotiation between webkit committors

   Vlad: Apple objection seems to be resolved

   jdaggett: FF and IE implemented as CSS3 Fonts says

   <scribe> ACTION: Vlad to send a liaison to CSS saying that we have a
   consensus that this feature is best in CSS3 Fonts module and want to
   see t accepted there so we can reference it [recorded in
   [11]http://www.w3.org/2011/06/15-webfonts-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-93 - Send a liaison to CSS saying that we
   have a consensus that this feature is best in CSS3 Fonts module and
   want to see t accepted there so we can reference it [on Vladimir
   Levantovsky - due 2011-06-22].

   Vlad: consesnus of font vendors and impleentors

   jdaggett; sounds reasonable

WOFF edits

   jfkthame: set some actions pending

   [12]http://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/track/actions/pendingreview

     [12] http://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/track/actions/pendingreview

   jfkthame: removed summary of conformance requirements and relocated
   notes as discussed

   ChrisL: reminded commmentors this was done

   Relocate text describing div and span was done, too

   Move BCP47 to normative and change are expected to to SHOULD

   jfkthame: became a normative reference and language updated

   Add expected children of all metadata elements

   jfkthame: had a go at that, not clrear how much detail to go into.

   ChrisL: text element is missing the same form of description as the
   rest

   jfkthame: seems easy

   action jfkthame to add text element descrition

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-94 - Add text element descrition [on
   Jonathan Kew - due 2011-06-22].

   ChrisL: we missed impleenting the comment from Eric Muller, to add
   @url to text inside license

   [13]http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF/DoC/issues-lc-2010.html#issue-8

     [13] http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF/DoC/issues-lc-2010.html#issue-8

   Vlad: legl folks font like a license that is different in different
   languages as the least restrictive one becomes the agreement

   ChrisL: ... so we decided not to add the per language links?

   Vlad: one link points to a page which can be a landing page with
   further links to multiple languages. its up to the font vendor to do
   that

   cslye: what Vlad describes is how Adobe would do it too
   ... so that is fine for me
   ... would not watnt to limit what other people expect t be there

   Vlad: its a license description not a full license. it says how to
   get it

   cslye: ok

   ChrisL; ok so the spec is good as it stands ad I will update the DoC

   jfkthame: another minor edit was to requie xml to be utf-8 as
   discssed on the list
   ... makes life simpler

   ChrisL: seemed to be broad agreement on that
   ... need to mark up the testable assertion and add a test for it

   tal: there is an existing test for utf-8 or utf-16 so that is easy
   to change

   <scribe> ACTION: tal to modify the test for xml encoding [recorded
   in [14]http://www.w3.org/2011/06/15-webfonts-minutes.html#action02]

   Note:

   The id attribute of the uniqueid element, and of several further
   metadata elements defined below, is not of type ID. Its form is

   at the discretion of the font creator or vendor.

   ChrisL: (describes 3 options)

   jfkthame: there are unicode controls for directionality that could
   be used if needed

   Vlad: fine with the third option

   jfkthame: option 2 would be much more complex. just not worth it

   <scribe> ACTION: ChrisL to propose the third option [recorded in
   [18]http://www.w3.org/2011/06/15-webfonts-minutes.html#action04]
