Yet, the rubber stamping and "setting in stone" with a us patent policy is
necessary (but not wholly sufficient) for implementation and adoption:

A cycle from de facto, to de jure, to de facto.

That's the essential problem with commontype.org and GitHub.com/Opentype
and all the others right now, it's all too de facto with no clear route to
de jure.

Ideally those 2 wouldn't exist, because the needs it fulfills would already
be met by the OT or OFF process.
