MSIE has always supported MTX compresion in EOT; My recollection of what happened is that what John said is correct, and that it wasn't clear that the OTHER browsers would make use of it even if the patent issue was resolved because of the DRM issue that I and others kicked up a fuss about. The "EOT Lite" proposal by IIRC Ascender was in response to that, but didn't get much traction.
