Is this a requirement in the TT/OT specification, or in the font
API's? Or both.
If a font without a legal name is rejected by the system it could
still be transferred over the web without a name. The browser at the
receving end could, presumably, add a short name ("@", perhaps) before
handing it over to the system.
