When I quizzed Bill Davis about EOT classic's reliance on these bits to allow or disallow the creation of an EOT CL file at TypeCon, the answer turned into a group explanation - by several people - that the embedding bits WERE PRE-WEB... Not pre-web per se, I think -- or rather thought --, but spec'd with non-web documents in mind. But Tom Phinney, who was there at the time I believe, says it was otherwise and that web use was in peoples' minds when the embedding bits were spec'd. I hardly think it matters though, because the OT spec is not explicit one way or the other, and these bits have assumed meanings relative to non-web documents that do not translate easily to web parallels. > I was told unequivocally the EULA was primary.
