To me, this suggests that for CJK fonts "the reality for the web" is restricted to the fonts currently bundled with operating systems, today. When I consider the ever-increasing attention paid to China by everyone including OS vendors, plus @font-face, Google Font Directory, and emerging technologies for streaming CJK fonts to devices (such as whatever it is Monotype is now doing in this regard), I don't expect the CJK-web-font status quo to remain unchanged for very long.
