>>
>>            pierre: There is one but it is not complete, specified in DASH.
>>
>>            david: It is not specified in the HTML document itself.
>>
>>            pierre: That's correct. As long as we can reference the one in

>>
>>            david: Agreed there is a DASH vocabulary.
>>
>>            pierre: So the request to add one to HTML is not required for

>>
>>            glenn: Go ahead - also refer to #206 - it may be related but

>>            andreas: I think there has not been much progress since we last

>>            ... more investigation to find a good solution. I want to point
>>            to something related.
>>            ... This problem about gaps between lines has been addressed by
>>            the HbbTV 2.0.1 spec
>>            ... which a lot of televisions will implement. At the moment
>>            that is not really interoperable
>>            ... and compatible with IMSC 1 so we should pay attention to
>>            it.
>>            ... References spec text from HbbTV 2.0.1 that, specific to
>>            EBU-TT-D 1.0 defines that
>>            ... where the lineHeight is "normal" or <125% the background of
>>            each generated inline area
>>            ... shall be rendered such that there are no gaps between the
>>            rendered backgrounds of
>>            ... adjacent lines.
>>
>>            glenn: We have a quasi default of doing what CSS does, which is
>>            different from what this suggests.
>>            ... This mandates behaviour that is at variance with the XSL-FO
>>            and CSS behaviour.
>>
>>            andreas: Yes.
>>
>>            glenn: By the way issue #209 on the TTML spec has a length
>>            discussion on this.
>>            ... The bottom line in my reading is that the height of an
>>            inline area in CSS is implementation defined.
>>            ... Different implementations have fine tuned themselves to be
>>            consistent with each other, outside of any spec.

>>            pierre: A browser based CSS implementation would display a gap?
>>
>>            glenn: Correct
>>
>>            andreas: There are scripting techniques for getting around
>>            this.
>>
>>            pierre: If we feel this is a common requirement for
>>            accessibility then it needs to be addressed in the CSS WG
>>
>>            glenn: I've had a detailed offline discussion with Bert Bos
>>            about this and he pointed out that
>>            ... one of the advanced level 4 modules might at some point be
>>            able to deal with this.
>>            ... There are a whole bunch of assumptions in CSS on inline
>>            non-replaceable areas, for example
>>            ... you cannot specify the content height manually. The height
>>            property explicitly does not
>>            ... apply. That was the first problem we ran into, because we
>>            wanted the height of the content
>>            ... box to extend to the line area. Somewhere I proposed a mode
>>            for the style engine to use
>>            ... different semantics for the height of content areas. The
>>            question is can you have a profile
>>            ... that defaults the parameter to a particular value.
>>
>>            nigel: The pressing need here is to issue some statement on
>>            this for TTML1.
>>
>>            piere: I recall that some people use a style where they do
>>            actually want the gap.
>>
>>            andreas: yes, for example if you have the lineheight at 200%
>>            you don't want such a big background area.
>>
>>            pierre: In CSS can you always add padding to every line?
>>
>>            glenn: You can but the problem is you cannot determine at
>>            authoring time what value to add.
>>            ... At first order we should document more carefully what the
>>            current situation is in TTML1.
>>            ... That may allow people to come up with no-gap semantics. We
>>            could define the default
>>            ... semantics to be the no-gap scenario but if we do that we
>>            need to allow the author to define
>>            ... the other behaviour. If we change the default now what
>>            would that break?
>>
>>            nigel: I understand that the content rectangle is not well
>>            defined?
>>
>>            glenn: It is not, but all the browser implementations do it
>>            roughly the same way.
>>
>>            nigel: Could we add an informative note via an erratum to say
>>            that the content rectangle is
>>            ... not well defined but is commonly implemented so that it
>>            does not go to the line height?
>>
>>            pierre: That's not what I'm hearing. I think CSS needs to
>>            address this.
>>
>>            glenn: I'm worried that we cannot easily go back and
>>            retroactively define the content height
>>            ... to never show a gap.
>>
>>            pierre: It would be easier to do that if it were not that some
>>            folk like the gap.
>>
>>            glenn: In TTML2 we can add a new mode that drives that, but in
>>            TTML1 what can we do?
>>
>>            andreas: This requirement for no gaps came from accessibility
>>            guidelines to get proper presentation.
>>            ... The minimum we could say is that some specifications could
>>            define this.
>>
>>            pierre: If someone is overriding that rendering it needs to be
>>            flagged.
>>
>>            andreas: That will not change, I think this is more of an
>>            interoperability problem.
>>            ... There is an initial step e.g. for an IMSC 1.1, and then a
>>            long term TTML2 solution.
>>            ... For now we should say something about this in TTML1.
>>
>>            pierre: +1
>>
>>            andreas: I would also hope for a liaison to respond to this.
>>
>>            glenn: We can note that the algorithm for content height is not
>>            concretely defined and that
>>            ... browsers do behave the same with current CSS
>>            implementations and will introduce a gap.
>>            ... If we do want a new TTML1 feature we could write a short
>>            specification introducing a
>>            ... ttsx namespace style that is interpreted in a particular
>>            way.
>>
>>            andreas: Ideally if there is a proper parameter to control this
>>            it should be defined in this group.
>>
>>            nigel: +1
>>
>>            glenn: That would be an official extension to TTML1, which we
>>            could say maps to a particular
>>            ... syntax and semantic in TTML2.
>>            ... That might be an approach.
>>
>>            pierre: If there is an urgent need to address real problems we
>>            should address it in IMSC 1.1.
>>
>>            glenn: I've heard 3 things: 1. Clarify TTML1 with an errata -
>>            we can do that non-controversially.
>>            ... 2. We can define new mechanisms in TTML2 - we can do that
>>            no problem.
>>            ... 3. More controversially, define a new extension style for
>>            TTML1. That creates another fork
>>            ... in the implementation space.
>>
>>            andreas: The target when this was discussed was an IMSC 1.1
>>            version. If that is possible we
>>            ... should do that.
>>
>>            pierre: Absolutely. The question is if there is an urgent need
>>            to resolve an industry problem now.
>>            ... The worst thing would be to make a change that does not
>>            solve the problem.
>>
>>            andreas: HbbTV has solved this for now - it would be
>>            interesting to know if this breaks
>>            ... current implementations.
>>
>>            pierre: it would be good to have a formal communication with
>>            HbbTV about this issue.
>>            ... It is essential that HbbTV is encouraged to communicate
>>            their requirements to this group and we should be welcoming of
>>            this, even if we make the initial communication.
>>
>>            andreas: We should also be clear that it is needed for
>>            interoperability to establish this communication channel.
>>
>>            nigel: Notes that independent of HbbTV the BBC raised this
>>            issue on TTML2 and andreas opened the equivalent on TTML1.
>>            ... I want to come back to what we can do here.
>>
>>            andreas: There's the formal comms with HbbTV, an errata for
>>            TTML1, and a discussion about
>>            ... how to fix for TTML2. If there is no formal requirement for
>>            this then it will not happen in IMSC 1.
>>
>>            pierre: BBC has raised this for TTML2, but the timescale for
>>            that is very different than for TTML1.
>>            ... To make a change on TTML1 requires a higher threshold, so
>>            if there is a group such as
>>            ... HbbTV that needs this in the short term then we should do

>>            nigel: (notes that this looks analogous to origin and position
>>            but is not)
>>
>>            glenn: backgroundOrigin defines where the background is drawn

>>            pierre: This does not express how you would use SMPTE

>>
>>            glenn: That's actually mapped to the image element.
>>
>>            pierre: yes.
>>
>>            glenn: However we did define background image also in TTML2 and
>>            these attributes
>>            ... I believe fully define the semantics for background images.
>>            ... In the case of a foreground image these don't come up
>>            because they define the content
>>            ... rectangle. There's never a box in which to position it -
>>            that only applies when the image
>>            ... is used for the background. Also bear in mind that
>>            background images may be repeated
>>            ... in x and y directions, which can never happen with
>>            foreground images.
>>            ... For foreground image size you would use bpd and ipd rather
>>            than backgroundExtent.
>>            ... I need to think if it would ever be applicable to have the
>>            same semantic as backgroundExtent
>>            ... on a foreground image. I want to see if CSS allows that
>>            property on the image element
>>            ... in HTML and what does it mean.
>>
>>            nigel: Just considering the use cases for this - one that comes
>>            to mind is the use of a
>>            ... graduated fill background image that is animated to move
>>            along behind foreground text
>>            ... for karaoke usage. Do these semantics support that?
>>
>>            glenn: Yes I think you could animate the x and y positions,
>>            either discretely or continuous.
>>
>>            nigel: The conclusions for the time being are 1) that more
>>            thinking is needed for the names
>>            ... and 2) whether backgroundExtent can apply to foreground
>>            images.
>>            ... For the hard of thinking, some example images etc would

>>            not any of the deprefixed
>>            ... names had any similarity to the non-prefixed name. The
>>            programName and programType
>>            ... seem to be likely, the others not.
>>            ... The ones that had cea prefixes need to be syntactically

>>            ... I can not simply remove the reference to 608 or 708 from

>>            ... sacrificing syntactic specificity.
>>
>>            nigel: And there's an editorial task to add the source
>>            definitions?
>>
>>            glenn: That's right.
>>            ... I'm pretty sure that programName is just a string and no
>>            more restricted. The originalProgrammeTitle
>>            ... is probably the same semantic.
>>            ... We also need to check with Mike Dolan since he was involved
>>            in defining these in
>>            ... SMPTE-TT. I think we should be able to merge programName
>>            and originalProgramTitle
>>            ... probably. We have to choose which token to end up with - I
>>            don't have a strong preference.
>>            ... My preference is to add a prefix back, but just make it cea
>>            or cta (remove the 608 or 708)
>>            ... and we could add it for EBU also.
>>
>>            nigel: An observation here is that building the named items
>>            into the TTML2 spec gives us a
>>            ... potential problem in that it makes it harder to update the
>>            list later. A common pattern
>>            ... is to reference an external list or classification scheme
>>            which can be updated independently.
>>            ... Since none of these named items normatively affects
>>            processing this should be okay.
>>            ... This is a bit like the role registry approach in TTML1.
>>
>>            glenn: In TTML1 we had a requirement to prefer Dublin Core, and
>>            after much debate we took
>>            ... a minimalist approach and hardly defined anything. Then
>>            SMPTE-TT came along and defined
>>            ... a whole bunch of metadata items for 608 and 708 that were
>>            thought to be important.
>>            ... Since one of the nominal driving factors for TTML2 is to
>>            support all the extensions in
>>            ... SMPTE-TT we ended up adding these in.
>>
>>            andreas: I think the most practical solution is to reference a
>>            document that we maintain that
>>            ... defines our unqualified namespace items and informatively
>>            links to other sources of
>>            ... namespace qualified items in other organisations'
>>            namespaces.
>>
>>            glenn: That sounds like a plan.
>>
>>            nigel: Same here.
>>
>>            glenn: I think we should leave in usesForced and
>>            alternativeText
>>
>>            nigel: Even those we do not need to be in the specification
>>
>>            glenn: I think we want to refer to them elsewhere in the spec
>>            so I'd like to keep those two
>>            ... unqualified names in the spec.
>>
>>            andreas: Ok, if they depend on these.
>>
>>            glenn: Others that we have not defined yet we can bind to a
>>            namespace and offer a template
>>            ... for the future to define new named items.
>>            ... That would simplify this work quite a bit.
>>            ... I'll add a note to the issue with that plan.
>>            ... I didn't abbreviate alt text so I had it as alternateText -
>>            what's the view?
>>
>>            pierre: Keep it as close as possible to IMSC 1.
>>
>>            nigel: yes, happy with altText.

>>
>>            pierre: I would happily collate requirements for IMSC 2.
>>

>>
>>            glenn: Having them in one repository helps with issue tracking
>>            but you should use labels of
>>            ... some kind to distinguish between the different versions.
>>
>>            pal: At the root will be a roadmap document for all the
>>            versions of IMSC.
>>            ... As soon as I get requirements for IMSC 2 I will start a
>>            requirements document too.
>>
>>            nigel: It's not from BBC but Ruby seems obvious.
>>
>>            pierre: Yes I hear that a lot, also HDR and tate chu yuko.
>>            Disparity is another one.
>>
>>            nigel: Also Wide Color Gamut?
>>
>>            pierre: Yes. Also background area between lines.
>>
>>            nigel: I would add the safe crop area stuff too.
>>
>>            andreas: As well as asking for requirements it would be good to
>>            ask for the use case and the
>>            ... problem that needs to be solved, in some detail.
>>
>>            pierre: So yes, HDR, all east asian layout.
>>
>>            rohit: Any mention of the condition attribute?
>>
>>            pierre: No not yet. I've heard people wanting to do responsive
>>            design, but I'm not sure we're there yet.
>>
>>            nigel: What about continuous animation?
>>
>>            pierre: Not yet.
>>
>>            nigel: Seems strange to me based on historical BBC research to
>>            have disparity but not continuous animation.
>>
>>            andreas: We should check what east asian organisations need to
>>            do.
>>
>>            dae: I'd like to know if there are any parts of TTML2 that folk
>>            think might need to change. Ruby for example?
>>
>>            pierre: I'd like to be really specific about all the Ruby
>>            features in a pedantic way.
>>
>>            glenn: All the TTML2 layout features were driven from existing
>>            content in lambda cap. it is
>>            ... easy to say what was not driven from lambda cap.
>>            ... It is easy to enumerate all the different Ruby features -
>>            look at TTML2 from
>>            ... §10.2.30 tts:ruby to §10.2.37 tts:rubyPreserve also
>>            §10.2.40 tts:textCombine
>>            ... §10.2.41 tts:textEmphasis and §10.2.43 tts:textOrientation.
>>            ... All those were directly driven by lambda cap. There are a
>>            couple that were not:
>>            ... rubyOverflow, rubyOverhand and rubyOverhangClass.
>>
>>            rohit: Also rubyReserve?
>>
>>            glenn: Yes. Overflow and overhang came out of the Japanese
>>            requirements as well as how
>>            ... to handle some cases that were not obvious.
>>
>>            pierre: Thanks!
>>
>>            nigel: Do we have feature designators for these yet?
>>
>>            glenn: There's an editorial note in E.1 for adding those.
>>
>>            group: [discussion of structure of specification, areas of
>>            TTML2 that may be relatively more 'risky', how to make progress
>>            etc.]

>>
>>         Agenda bash
>>
>>            group: plans ahead for tomorrow, updates agenda.
>>
>>         TTML2 implementation work
>>
>>            glenn: Skynav's TTT set of tools could be viewed as 1-3
>>            implementations. It's a layered
>>            ... system - the validation layer at the bottom could be
>>            considered a transformation implementation.
>>            ... TTX above that has one module that translates into an ISD
>>            sequence. For example it can
>>            ... take IMSC1 or SMPTE-TT documents and turn them into TTML2
>>            ISDs. Then the next
>>            ... layer is TTPE that implements formatting semantics.
>>
>>            rohit: At Netflix we are building a TTML2 oriented pipeline.
>>            The idea is to take TTML2 source
>>            ... documents, convert them into a canonical form (probably
>>            TTML2 ISD) and then use them
>>            ... to generate output formats including WebVTT and rendered
>>            subtitles.
>>            ... Depending on the test vector set for TTML2 Netflix may be
>>            able to meet 40-50% of the
>>            ... tests for implementation.
>>
>>            glenn: I'd also like to add: in terms of presentation semantics
>>            implementation in TTPE for
>>            ... TTML2 features, the only new features it does not yet
>>            support are the use of referenced
>>            ... external fonts, audio and disparity. Everything else that's
>>            new in TTML2 it supports already
>>            ... from a presentation semantic. There might be some fine
>>            points to some of the features
>>            ... that we are still tweaking. We have test content for all of
>>            those features that we are using
>>            ... to generate presentable output in either images or SVG. So
>>            we are way ahead on implementation
>>            ... of presentation and we have test content for most all of
>>            it. Our schedule for finishing
>>            ... implementation work on TTML2 is scheduled to be finished
>>            early March 2017.
>>
>>            thierry: The horizontal review groups request review
>>            opportunity as soon as possible.
>>
>>            nigel: In fact I should trigger that process straight away.
>>            ... Wide review is even wider than that.
>>
>>            thierry: We should start to initiate that to make sure there is
>>            enough time.
>>
>>            glenn: I'd like to have a version ready for a new WD by early
>>            October.
>>
>>            thierry: Remember that we can limit the scope of review only to
>>            the additional features in
>>            ... TTML2 that are new relative to TTML1.
