To reaffirm what Nigel said, we have already added this support to TTML2 in
the form of "inline region" specifications. about which see [1]. One can
either specify a region child of a div or p, called an *explicit inline
region specification* or use a shorthand of specifying tts:{origin,extent}
directly on a div or p, called an *implied inline region specification*.
