Are font vendors willing to license fonts for use in the EOT-Lite format and
with no requirement for same-origin restrictions?

If they are, I'm surprised.

If they're not, then EOT-Lite isn't very useful, since serving non-free
fonts to IE users (its great advantage) will require burdensome and fragile
Referer checking.
