[mpeg-OTspec] Re: [OpenType] MS Proposal for a new Name Table ID

[John Hudson]

I agree that the 'name' table does not seem like the best place for this 
language information. Before considering the merits of a new, generic 
'META' table as John Jenkins has proposed, I'm wondering what pros and 
cons might exist to extending the 'OS/2' table to include this data, 
since its use by software parallels that of the codepage and Unicode 
range information in that table. Is this an option?

The criminologist's definition of 'public order
crimes' comes perilously close to the historian's
description of 'working-class leisure-time activity.'
