That's the plan; actually, the ideal plan would be to have a mod_eot Apache module so that when it saw IE coming, it did a cached conversion on the fly so web designers don't have to think about it. > i can see the issue in providing files in (another) closed format though.

The conversion software is GPL, so the format isn't closed; its patent encumbered in the USA, but, we discussed that and decided it didn't matter.
