Well, IE did this in like 1996 so its not really true they decided to
do something different; back then Netscape had its own font DRM system
(from Bitstream, also a USA patent holder for web fonts...) and plain
TTF/OTF fonts were never considered.

Reading www-font at w3.org archives from ~15 years ago was very
interesting for me. ;-)
