Like GPL's "or any later version". If OFL, say, v1.2 would be written
today, every OFL-using font will need to be explicitly re-licensed under
it, further more we might not be able to mix OFLv1.1 licensed fonts with
OFLv1.2 licensed ones, which pretty much defeat the whole purpose of
having a unified libre font license (AFAIC anyway).
