Maciej, Before the From Origin idea was put forward, there was formal consensus around the existing same origin text (i.e. there had been no formal objection to it, despite reservations reported by Håkon), and there was certainly consensus that some form of same origin restriction for WOFF was desirable. Yes, there is now consensus that same origin restriction would be better dealt with at the CSS level and that From Origin is a better mechanism, but since that mechanism doesn't exist yet, WG members on the conference call three weeks ago voted to keep the existing language but mark it at risk, which Chris indicated was a reasonable thing to do within W3 protocols. So, is there a way to resolve your objection while at the same time respecting those WG members who are uncomfortable removing all reference to same origin restriction from the WOFF spec while there is as yet no replacement mechanism?
