My impression is that, following the lead of the file naming traditions,
font-ttf implies sfnt/glyf and font-otf implies sfnt/cff.

One could argue that font-sfnt-glyf and font-sfnt-cff are better names.
(Which does not imply, necessarily, that I am doing so. :)

If that is not the intent, though, the mime type application should give
better direction, not only as to how the tagging apps should tag, but
also as to what the receiving apps should expect to find.
