Does anyone know what cunning plans the W3C font service people are up to?

Anything XML does should fit in with them, I suppose.

Gavin Nicol started a group on this issue a little while back, but I think

Certainly I think a PI system that "shortrefs" user-defined characters
to Xpointers that index into a font held remotely would be the best way.
Anyone like that idea?
