I think defining conformant tool behavior based on the embedding bits of the source OpenType font, new or old, will be a much bigger distraction than it's worth. Defining the exact meaning of these bits has always been problematic and it may not be universal; a font vendor may be fine having a trusted service do the WOFF conversion but not a general user. A WOFF conversion tool may be part of a larger application, a content management system or a font editor. What should conformant behavior be for something like a font editor? Suggesting in the spec that tools issue a warning based on embedding bits is fine (e.g. restricted embedding) but I don't think *requiring* tools not to produce a WOFF font based on these bits is a good idea.
