RE: SVG fonts: [ was RE: minutes, SVG WG TPAC F2F 2014, day 2]

Why? This particular form of internet etiquette is new to me, but I've just entered my 40th year of using the Internet.

Not saying you don't have a reason, it is just not a custom I've encountered before. Or perhaps I encountered it before but just never heard anyone express a social more that would govern it.

Subsetting fonts is easy, and if you can produce a data: URL for the full font, you can do the same for the reduced font.
