insount: the difference between an embedded image and a embedded font is that, 
usually, the former is a *part* of the content, while the latter is an 
*attribute* of the content. Users pay different legal attention to these 
elements.

Technically, it's well explained in the OpenDocument specifications and it's 
also a logical valid argument, in this case.

Then, there are also documents, i.e. trade logos or artistic drawings, in which 
the *visual representation* of a font - not the font itself - may be part of 
the content. In those cases, the legal concerns are completely different and 
less important for the average users, since they should have or have had a 
professional legal support that explains what can or cannot do with their 
logo's "representation".

I have no power to block or unblock this issue, but i'd prefer not to add 
another element for which I have to check the license, especially if that 
addition is automatically done by a software application and it may be not 
clearly evident for the embedder or other users of a document(read: me)
