I think this view is shared by all; noone has asked for TTF-linking to
be banned. However, if obfuscated-TTFs are supported by all browsers
and inclear-TTFs are only supported by a subset of browsers, obfusction
is likely to be used for all font files. This is not good.
Therefore, if we want a grand compromise on fonts, I believe it's
necessary for all browsers to support inclear-TTF as well as
obfuscated-TTF.
