It is also a licensing issue, not a format or implementation issue. Single-origin checking is something that font developers want and may indeed put into standard license agreements for web fonts. On the other hand, we are aware that it won't be backwards compatible, and if there are customers who have specific compatibility needs then custom licenses are possible. A license might even specify exceptions to the single-origin checking for specific browser versions. This is a decision font makers will need to consider from a business perspective. John Hudson
