Can you explain *what* interop is being lost by *adding* WOFF to the @font-face rule ? Do you realize that interop is limited to a subset of raw fonts ? > We could add another test for WOFF without changing the exising one? Except a browser that only supports WOFF would fail something. I don't see why that should be the case when this WG's conformance criteria indicate WOFF will be the only format required for conformance. Can you explain on what basis you believe TTF support to be required ?
