At this stage — and for a few years now — I have interpreted any reference to ‘OpenType 2.0’ to actually mean ‘a significantly different future font technology, whether a flavour of OpenType or an entirely new format, actually v2.0 or some other version number’. It provides the context for free thinking about new concepts, a cleaner and leaner format, etc.

If this is confusing, and we'd like to restrict use of the term to actual OT/OFF spec revision, then I propose NextFont as a codeword for typographic futurism.

I propose World Type Format :)
