It sounds to me that it's not generally true that autohinters can replace
hinting. At least not yet.
What would be interesting is if we could enable an autohinter in Firefox
and use that in cases when we are sent a font which doesn't contain hints
(is the performance overhead, if any, acceptable?)
We could then support a format("woff-autohint") which would allow pages to
send a smaller unhinted font file to browsers which support autohinting and
a larger file to browsers that don't.
That'd also put pressure on other UAs to implement autohinting if it
becomes popular enough.
