<div>the issue for me is whether I want to
subject the work of creating that standard to the ISO process with
its annoyances and limitations. So in that case, I can also make
the argument for the OTL implementation spec being independent of
the font file format spec — so we can have a public, editable
draft, for exampe —, and have the two standards reference each
other rather than being rolled into one. But that is just an
argument from process.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Having the two standards reference each
