RE: Requirements for external text alternatives for audio/video

Phillipe is owner of this implementation. But my understanding is it is considered a correct implementation, I don't know that he has written any documentation.

The semantics of TTML is specified in terms of XSL:FO, it does not require an XSL:FO implementation.  The majority of the style features in TTML are already found in CSS. The W3C has an implementation of TTML based on conversion into HTML & CSS.

Is it a correct implementation? How well does the XSL:FO formatting model map to CSS? Is there any documentation (even informative) on implementing TTML/DFXP using a CSS formatter?

In summary - I would suggest keeping the File Format requirement at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_TextAssociations#File_Formats
with supporting both, srt and dfxp (or ttml as Sean clarified).



  What DFXP profile are you suggesting we mandate?

  As Maciej noted [1], even the presentation profile requires XSL-FO. Does anyone actually think it is reasonable to require a UA to implement this substantial spec just to style captions?
