To clarify: I suppose that http://www.fontburner.com/ is a model, but on 
a competing platform (never seen it before today - I don't use SiFR at 
the moment).

But my enquiry is simply: is anyone linked with OFL running a server 
that is intended to serve font files to browsers that can understand 
@font-face - or is anyone talking/thinking about doing this soon? The 
fact is if I do it right now it works, but the world won't know that the 
font's come from OFL.

Yes, although that's not explicitly stated. Perhaps this is just an 
opportunity for
- a more obvious link on each font's page (more obvious than the 
download button)
- a little badge graphic that nerds can stick on their pages to show 
their support (nerds are not tired of this idea yet, if I'm an example...)

Cheers,
Ben
