Well, this feedback is almost completely aligned with what was proposed in
the first comment of the issue: https://github.com/w3c/wpub/issues/352
There's a very strong anti-M4B feeling, which I'm not really surprised
about.
Some additional feedback though:
Avoid HTML. Seriously. Same for XML. Let the applications (and there will
> need to be application support) read and render the JSON data
I don't think we've solved this issue entirely. I've seen discussions about
forcing an audiobook to have an entry page (even if it doesn't need one)
and the issue about the ToC in JSON is still open.
Store metadata in a manifest file, not in the audio
I'm not entirely sure what that means. In our case, metadata about the
publication are in the manifest but metadata about audio resources are in
the resource.
This potentially goes back to https://github.com/w3c/wpub/issues/229
Array items can be hashes, containing **anything**. This is where I would

We don't have a way to indicate the hash of a resource currently. Is it
worth considering?
