I don't support this change. I think there's a value to keeping things
stable. Errors should be corrected, but -- in general, unless there
are obvious reasons -- I don't think features should be added or
removed.
Aslo, by making the proposed change, it becomes possible to pass Acid3
without supporting ttf. We could end up in a situation where browser x
support ttf only and browser y support woff only, but both of them
pass Acid3. As a result, interoperability would suffer.
I'm happy to add WOFF to a future Acid test, though.
Cheers,
