You want to mandate something like an alert shown in the location bar, like a security certificate + https generating a little padlock symbol? What's the payback for the browser author? Why does the user care? I see WOFF metadata as something latent in the file, something that could be found, for example, by a curious person using a plugin of some kind or listed in site usage stats generated by a web server or a crawler. Really it is part of the semantic web, not part of the web of user agents. Time will tell us how valuable it is. Time might monetise it ;-) > Not specifying a behavior creates an interoperability problem. A pretty small one, surely? Which version 1.1 of the spec could address?
