Slight correction: Apple and Microsoft own the original TT spec and
Apple owns our additions to it. Whenever there's a change made to the
core tables common to all the TT-derived formats (e.g., 'cmap'), MS,
Apple, and -- in actual practice -- Adobe consult back and forth to
make sure we're all OK with it.
