I am not talking about myself in particular. Do you have a reference to
relevant liaisons with the TTWG on the design of the Text Track API, and
whether it meets the needs of TTML? No? That's probably because AFAICT no
attempt was made to liaison with the one W3C WG that had deep expertise in
this area and would clearly have interoperability requirements. Rather odd,
isn't it... Please correct my impression if I am wrong.
