I am really an outsider to this W3C work group, haven't subscribed to this public list for all that long and completely oblivious to internal politics of W3C. That said, I would like to thank Ian for speaking out on this issue -- regardless of what W3C work group information is considered "appropriate" for the general public. I think openness is a good way achieve meaningful results in the development of web standards and secrecy is good for other interests. Judging by the level of standards support in IE, I don't understand why Microsoft participates in this process at all, other than to be to standards what the US is to the UN. Web standards should not be used as another avenue to create (anti)competitive advantages for this company or any other. Perhaps this work group should consider a new policy, where if internal discussion ends in deadlock, the matter is taken public? As far as the fonts issue is concerned. Just a brief look at EOT is enough to conclude that embedding TTF is the right way to go.
