Why is that someone has always have do what someone else has done, even if there is no consensus for it. It was not okay for EOT to be supported by other browsers because we didn't reach a consensus, and we do not have a consensus with OpenType and TrueType either. We could be much better off if we get out of the trenches and adopt a position that, as Aryeh said, may not be ideal but can work and would satisfy all parties involved. Regards, Vladimir
