RE: CSS3 @font-face / EOT Fonts - new compromise proposal

I am not sure what you mean by field-of-use restriction. The item 3 of
W3C RF licensing
requirements(http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#def-RF
) clearly states that the license may be limited to implementations of
the Recommendation. The browser implementation would obviously qualify
as an implementation of this (future) recommendation.

	I'm not aware of other technologies that are W3C standards,
patent-protected, where the RF license carries field-of-use
restrictions. I didn't even realize that the W3C policy allowed that.
