It's similar.  The requirement got moved to the fonts spec, out of WOFF, so now it applies to all fonts, not just WOFF fonts.

Again, Gecko and IE are complying with the spec today.  The main effects of WebKit not doing so, as far as I can see, are sites inadvertently violating their font licenses and authors being confused about the proper way to deploy fonts.

If you really do think the spec here should be changed, the right approach is to say so in the relevant standards group, not to try to use market position to subvert the spec by simply not implementing it.
