I may have missed something, but what provisions are there for ensuring that the 
same font is used by all user-agents?  Do documents fail to render altogether if 
a required font does not exist?  If not, then what's the point of forcing an 
identical line-breaking algorithm if you can't even guarantee identical glyphs?
