Basically, whatever is generated by the `fontinst working group' should
go out as `fontinst'. Can we take the LaTeX license and just substitute
fontinst for LaTeX3? Although I'm not sure there is a fontinst project,
it all sounds a bit Blairite (joke for UK subscribers only :-) Do we
need to worry about how the `fontinst working group' is defined?

Well, since I wrote it, it's intended for LaTeX, I've not really tried
to get it to work with Plain.
