That might be fine, because the client can check whether the family name is a
perfect match.

Yes, distinguishing these would be useful. It is much harder for the client to
distinguish these.
Also, binding="same" is very useful.
Changing from same to weak binding in 30-metric-aliases would mean that "Arial,
Droid Sans Fallback" would change to prefering Droid Sans Fallback over Arimo
and Liberation Sans for example.</pre>
