It looks to me that if other profiles are necessary beyond the ones already given in the TTML specification, these can be developed at a later stage. Right now we need to take care to find a way to deal with the style and layout specifications. I agree with Sean that this should be done not by implementing the TTML specifications directly, but by mapping them to existing HTML/CSS/JavaScript constructs. Philippe's demos is at http://www.w3.org/2009/02/ThisIsCoffee.html with the original TTML file at http://www.w3.org/2009/02/ThisIsCoffee61_captions.xml and the JavaScript that interprets it at http://www.w3.org/2008/12/dfxp-testsuite/web-framework/HTML5_player.js. The test suite is at http://www.w3.org/2008/12/dfxp-testsuite/web-framework/START.html which demonstrates support (or lack of support) for each TTML feature - choose the HTML5 player to see what mappings are already supported. These mappings that are currently done in JavaScript have to be extracted into a specification document. And we need to make sure when we implement support for captions that we can add the features parsed out of TTML into the HTML document. Cheers, Silvia.
