Myles @ WebKit seems to raise some excellent points, but I'm not up on browser internals. The criticism seem very much in line with my understanding of motives and incentives within Google, which leads to much duplication of effort.
The Nabla web page makes it seem like "Finally! Color fonts!" while Myles @ WebKit makes it clear that "Many OT-SVG fonts already exist," which seems true[0].
Sigh. I wish people viewed Google more accurately as breakers of web interoperability instead of praising the relentless Chrome hegemony.
