If the fonts can reasonably and practically be extracted for use and redistribution outside the document then copyright and license metadata should be included, whatever the intent may have been. OFL-FAQ 1.11 is very clear about that. If I felt that the OFL-FAQ interpretation of embedding would have the effect of diluting or nullifying the OFL's force, I would have been the first person to scream loudly. Such would have been clearly outside the spirit and purpose of the license itself, and an inappropriate interpretation. However, it seemed clear in 2010 (and still in 2013) that the interpretation did align with the intention and understanding of OFL authors and copyright holders. Thanks for your concerns about this. I am not arguing against you. We are on the same side, protecting both designer rights and user freedom. V
