This is the point I made a couple of days ago. Note, however, that the EOTL version currently proposed does not contain rootstrings, cannot contain rootstrings and be considered valid EOTL. So the only issue re. rootstrings seems to be what a conforming browser does with non-valid EOTL fonts (including EOT Classic fonts). I believe the answer has to be 'flush them'. Ignoring the rootstring and pretending that the EOTL is valid is too risky. JH
