Fixed font v multiple fonts

[Hallam-Baker, Phillip]

Lars does not have the right to impose his decision on me.

As for rough consensus, the PROBLEM I am identifying is that there is simply
no forum where the majority of the membership can give their views on the
matter.

I am raising it as a problem because it was raised as one of the reasons why
a group of prominent engineers want to propose changes to SMTP, MIME and
S/MIME outside of IETF process.

It is certainly not the most important, but it is the easiest one to fix.

I would have thought that the near certainty that the Internet standards are
going to be forked would be a concern to this group. Obviously I was wrong,
you would all much rather run a debating society with no influence where you
are in absolute control.
