7.2 Recommended Character Sets 
https://www.w3.org/TR/ttml-imsc1.0.1/#recommended-character-sets

> A Document Instance SHOULD be authored using characters selected from the sets specified in B. Recommended Character Sets.

Since UTF-8 is being used, those characters, and all the other characters in Unicode, are always available to authors.

Would it be better to say:
When a document is authored, fonts used should provide support, as a minimum, for the characters listed in the sets in B Recommended Character Sets, depending on the language of the text.
