Dear Robin, > I think that one thing which could help the CG in this discussion is > an indication of why you chose not to use an XPointer syntax for > this? Is it simply because it's not targeting XML content? We are indeed not targeting XML content, but media. Furthermore, sort of media fragments was already implemented by some popular media sharing platforms such as YouTube, Dailymotion, etc. (see http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/wiki/Existing_Technologies_Survey) and the group had for mission to be as close as possible to these existing implementations, thus the syntax we have adopted. > On the > face of it, it would seem to address this issue.

We will clarify this point. > I don't think that this is the email you intended to point to (though > it does provide an answer to the previous point), I think you meant: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-fragment/2011May/0021.html. > It would appear that Tab proposed a potential solution to that issue: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-fragment/2011May/0036.html. > On the face of it is seems like a reasonably simple change; are there > particular issues with it? Yves questioned whether it should be the role of CSS to provide the interpretation of such a URI: http://www.example.com/multiresimage#xywh=10,20,30,40. That is also why I think it should be discussed in the HCG forum, since it obviously crosses several WGs. Best regards.
