[ttml2] TTML Intermediate Document Type "non-hierarchical"

nigelmegitt has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/ttml2:

== TTML Intermediate Document Type "non-hierarchical" ==
The description of the TTML Intermediate Document Type in 
http://w3c.github.io/ttml2/spec/ttml2.html#ttml-intermediate-doctype 
includes the text:

> all discrete animation, styling, and timing information is denoted 
in a non-hierarchical (flat), temporally linear manner.

>From the words "non-hierarchical (flat)" the reader may conclude that 
the intermediate document type is essentially a list, rather than a 
tree. However the ISD structure itself is in fact hierarchical, 
including potentially multiple regions, each of which contains a body 
that may contain many divs, etc. and each content element refers to a 
computed style set by id rather than inline.

I think the text is intended to imply that no style inheritance rules 
need be applied (for example), but it does not quite convey that, if 
it is indeed the intention. I suggest a second editorial pass on this 
wording.
