No, that's not all I see. But in terms of dismissing the charge of 
'martinet', it seemed sufficient. The point is that there are perfectly 
valid reasons why numerous players are opposed to naked font linking, 
and the fact that naked font linking is convenient for people who do not 
have to worry about font IP, either because they don't have any or only 
deal with free fonts, does not make it a viable interoperable format.
