Re: Response to your LC Comment -2393 on Media Ontology spec

Silvia,

You have kindly offered to provide information for the WebM multimedia 
container format mapping table.

As I have no feed back from James, could you please send us this 
information.
The WebM template is available at
http://dev.w3.org/2008/video/mediaann/mediaont-1.0/mediaont-1.0.html#iddiv4x2x27165

Best,

Thierry.
