HTML extension spec

HTML WG Chairs,

Would the Chairs recommend that the In-Band Tracks extension be drafted in a CG or in the HTML WG?

The Inbandtracks CG[1] was recently created to define standard mapping between HTML5 and common media transport formats (MPEG–2 TS, WebM, MP4, Ogg). As stated in [1], the goal of this specification is to foster Web app interoperability across HTML UA implementations. The HTML5 CR spec suggests the need for such additional specification [2], at least in the case of inband text tracks. [3] is an example of an additional specification that was created by CableLabs and is referenced by DLNA guidelines for use of HTML5. It is the preference of several HTML WG and DLNA members, as well as CableLabs, that [3] and equivalent specs for other media resources be done within W3C.

Thanks,
Bob Lund
