+public.skipExportGlyphs
+-----------------------
+
+This lib key works the same as the UFO lib key with the same name. The
+difference is that applications using a Designspace as the corner stone of the
+font compilation process should use the lib key in that Designspace instead of
+any of the UFOs. If the lib key is empty or not present in the Designspace, all
+glyphs should be exported, regardless of what the same lib key in any of the
+UFOs says.
