RE: ISSUE-85: "tracked" sessions: architectural concerns pending resolution with TAG

> Could you explain how you arrive at that conclusion ?

When I reviewed the TAG opinion I arrived at my conclusion based on the last paragraph in the TAG review:

“In conclusion, the TAG does not believe that a web-based feature should require executing steps in an environment that is already in the process of closing down as described above. In general, the TAG favors designs that promote asynchronous or deferred actions; in contrast, requiring run-at-close steps as requested would likely be synchronous in order to reliably work in such a scenario, and therefore not appropriate for the web platform.”

Upon further review of the ENTIRE TAG review and based on the assumption that the current EME specification does NOT “require executing steps in an environment that is already in the process of closing down”, I believe my initial conclusion was wrong.

Therefore I believe the HTML Media WG should now discuss if ISSUE-85 should be closed with no other action.

The W3C TAG has filed its review of EME ISSUE-85 on the related TAG ISSUE-73 "Architectural view on run-after-app-close behavior" at:

The TAG’s review has supported the position expressed in ISSUE-85 [1] and as such the Media Task Force needs now to consider if the associated Pull Request-54 [2] should be retracted.
​I did not interpret that review that way at all. Could you explain how you arrive at that conclusion ?

Please provide your feedback either directly on the TAG ISSUE-73, EME ISSUE-85 and/or in response to this email.    If I do not hear any objections before Mon Feb 8 I will direct the Editors to retract Pull Request-54.

If requested I will attempt to arrange for Travis and/or Alex to attend an upcoming Media TF teleconference to discuss this matter.
