I agree with this, although it strikes me that for a format such as WebSRT to evolve that you would likely end up with a derivative of either SMIL or TTML, as much of the required needs analysis for this functionality has already been done there. I think that focusing effort on defining a better profile of either format that meets everyone's needs would be work effort that would show greater payoff, rather than re-walking old territory. In either case, I am in agreement that referencing an external document (rather than embedding it into HTML5) is the better option here. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
