Ah! Yeah, that’s clearer :) I’m not sure how useful it would be given that most libs/frameworks already have their own.

For what it's worth a W3C effort at fonts was derailed by IE+Netscape in the late 90s. Dave's account is somewhat, um, selective.
Replying to @davearel
Also, a later attempt to renew the effort was fought against by Mozilla. And SVG fonts were rejected as well.
Replying to @davearel
It all depends on which innovation you want to slow down. Browser innovating without standards slows down web devs due to interop.
Replying to @davearel
And innovating without protection from the W3C patent policy slows things down due to software patent infringement issues…
Replying to @davearel
You’re not the only one :) There certainly is much to improve. But it is a fairly complex ecosystem to manoeuvre.
Replying to @davearel
Actually these days standards don’t come before implementation. They are developed in tandem, and usually imps ship first.
