There can be no question of intent here.
The embedded bits are covered by the OFL. Therefore, whether the embedder 
intends for them to be extracted or not, the legal information must be conveyed 
to the recipients (either as part of the embedded font metadata, or as a 
separate document).

If you allow intent here, the OFL clauses have no force anymore. At least 
that's how I understand the legalities.

IMHO the FAQ should make it crystal-clear that all OFL provisions apply to any 
part of the font even if it's embedded somewhere else. What they don't apply to 
is the document the font part is embedded in.
