same-origin restrictions and EULA (Re: A way forward)

If same origin restrictions are enforced by the UA how can an EULA 
reasonably require them? Surely web authors cannot be held responsible 
for how particular browsers accessing their sites happen to behave in 
this regard. Or is the server supposed to check each time which UA is 
accessing the site and only serve web fonts to those it knows enforce 
same-origin restrictions?
