[mpeg-OTspec] RE: New work on 3rd edition of the OFF (AHG kick-off)

[suzuki toshiya]

Although SC29/WG11 has long history using Microsoft Word as
the default format of the document interchange, some members
in font AHG might not share the history (and might think
different format is better).

Dave, do you have any alternative idea on the document format
for font AHG? If you have, do you think it is better format
for other SC29/WG11 members?
