The first outcome of the printing workshop was a W3C working group on fonts -- which are important both for glass and paper.

I'm all for finding non-ambigous terms; "leading" is useless these days due to two different interpretations. "Alley"? Perhaps -- has the term been used in this context before? It's not in the "glossary". BTW, we've combined the "column-width" and "gutter" properties in [3] and now use "columns" with two arguments instead.
