Will W3C Accept DRM For Webfonts?

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has submitted Embedded OpenType (EOT) to W3C and a slimy campaign 
| for EOT has been launched. EOT is a DRM layer on top of normal 
| TrueType/Opentype files; EOT ties a font file to a certain web page or site 
| and prevents reuse by other pages/sites.

"Slimy campaign" indeed. Glorification of DRM and IE in that site.
