RE: Broadcast HTML draft by ATSC

Although everything in the body of Philipp's message is correct, the subject
was a little misleading.  The so-called "Broadcast HTML" proposal was not
authored "by ATSC," but simply by a couple of members of one of ATSC's many
technical working groups (specifically, two members of ATSC Specialist Group
T3/S17 for DTV Application Software Environment, commonly called "DASE").
It is in fact one of five proposals that has been put forward in DASE, and
one of a couple that seems to have a reasonable body of support behind it.
It is not clear how this proposal will proceed within DASE.  Although a vote
was scheduled on whether or not to continue work on this proposal at the
DASE meeting last week, the vote was canceled at the last minute.

Subject: FYI: Broadcast HTML draft by ATSC



Just learned that the following is actually public information,
so I forward it here. This is what Aninda presented briefly
at the W3C TVWeb workshop.
This is only available as a Word document, unfortunately:

The relation of this to W3C work still has to be figured out.

This work is being done within the DASE group of ATSC:
