My caveats in regard to (b) are 1) that if one wants data that would be 
required for a web font to be included within the font data this implies 
engagement with the OT and OFF standard procedures in parallel with W3C 
procedures, and 2) this seems to defeat the goal of being able to wrap 
other kinds of font data.
