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.

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.
