Re: ISSUE-151 Clarify syncbase in SMPTE continuous mode - Draft Change Applied

Thanks, Glenn for clarification. That´s the same how I understand it.

I would therefore propose the following change in chapter 10.4 Time 
Intervals:

=> 4th bullet point

Now:
"If the governing time mode is media or smpte with mode continuous, then 
time expressions must be interpreted as equivalent to offset based 
timing in [SMIL 2.1], namely, as offsets from an implicit syncbase."

Change Proposal:
"If the governing time mode is media, then time expressions must be 
interpreted as equivalent to offset based timing in [SMIL 2.1], namely, 
as offsets from an implicit syncbase."

Best regards,

Andreas
