Glenn, As requested - some diagrams to illustrate the proposed temporal fill attributes. These are NOT real world examples - but are intended to give an idea of how I would anticipate these attributes to affect the display of Timed Text content. I believe that these proposed attributes are required for any 'relaxed' profile for Timed Text. It is obvious that all of the effects I describe in the attached documents might be produced by extensive use of selection mechanisms and XSL/CSS style attributes. However IMHO this would be an extremely onerous task and, even if performed automatically by an authoring tool, would probably create very large output files. Attachments: Three diagrammatic files showing the impact of the proposed attributes; temporal fill direction, temporal fill mode and temporal block clear mode. Apologies for MS format - but it does allow an easy representation of what should appear on the display area. <<Fill direction.doc>> <<temporal fill mode.doc>> <<temporal block clear mode.doc>> regards John Birch The views and opinions expressed are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Screen Subtitling Systems Limited.
