[MPEG-OTSPEC] Minor ballot comment - change a field from 16 to 24 bits

[Liam R. E. Quin]

In 7.2.2.2 GlyphVariationDataHeader, there is a field called
DataOffset; this is defined to be 16-bit. In testing, people building
actual fonts found this overflowed and needed to be 24 bits,
so we have a proposed change, Change dataOffset from Offset16 to
Offset24.

My understanding is that this has already been implemented in harfbuzz,
since its an ISO draft and since it was necessary...

No other problems were found so far.

The PDF file enclosed says the same thing, using the ISO template for
comments (numbered as if made sa a US comment; the Canadian mirror
committee meeting is tomorrow)
