User Agent implementors are here. Web Designers are here. And we
seemed to find common ground on the original proposal from Ascender, a
font vendor.
Now, it appears that Ascender have changed their mind; to "use
commercial fonts today", they revised their proposal. Their argument
[1] is only about timing, so one must presume they're still
comfortable with their original proposal.
Therefore, it seems that all stakeholders that you mention are
comfortable with Ascender's original proposal. Still, you dismiss it.
Are there other reasons why you cannot support the outlined
compromise?
Also, could you share with us the communication between MS and
Ascender between their first and second proposal?
