--20cf3074afc44c5f6204bc7f83e1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 What Liam said (especially about it being an exciting proposal :) More seriously, yes, I did not mean to imply that it's a done deal. I meant the hypothetical projection assuming the new proposal is implemented and adopted. Liam's wording would have been, in fact, better. Also, I just ran a rough estimate, and something in the ballpark 75% of the installed base is now WOFF capable. That's up from an estimated 57.11% (desktop) as of July 20, 2011 ( http://www.kombinat-typefounders.com/store/catalog/article/woff_support/), so support is increasing fast.
