We have a cross-platform solution (TTF) that works on other platforms besides
just Windows.  

Implementing EOT undermines this solution, and will encourage vendors to write
code that would only work on Windows.

If you're going to add EOT support, then really add EOT support.   A patch that
only works on one platform (and only with one kind of text rendering mode) does
not cut it, and it creates a gigantic compatibility difference in the
downloadable fonts feature between the Windows platform and the other
platforms.
