It's been my experience that a lot of people wanted to make minor changes to their fonts (add a new composite accented character or change the standard font's numerals to OS, for example), and I would have thought that this was a lot more than one per cent of serious font users (especially among European or Pacific users, where the standard ISO set didn't cover the requirements of their languages). Of course, this sort of editing could be argued to be redundant now that OT fonts offer room for all these characters, but I'm waiting to see whether all foundries follow Adobe's lead and add these characters to their fonts or just combine their existing sets for a "quick and dirty" OT font. 

While you're about, Thomas, will Adobe continue to make PostScript OpenType fonts or change to TrueType OT or do both? And because I understand that OT came out of TrueType, are TrueType fonts better suited to conversion to OT or does that make no difference at all? 

I have a suspcicion that the ingrained "snobbery" (and I'm as guilty of it as anyone) that has developed over PS and TT fonts will continue - at least for the short term - with regard to OT-PS and OT-TT fonts.
