The proposal seems fine to me but I wonder if the restriction to 'streamed' text may mean that the Recommendation becomes too narrow for some applications. For example, we are already using an xml timed-text markup for part of our subtitle authoring process. However, for such an application we need to be able to add more detailed markup than would be strictly necessary if the text were only going to be streamed to a player. Nevertheless a large part of the markup requirements are otherwise identical and so I am concerned that the focus on 'streamed' text in the proposal would restrict the Recommendation and it would then not quite cover the needs of other, more general applications using timed-text. As for participating in the group, I hope that we would be able to take part although I can't make a commitment to that at this stage.
