I agree with Philip. I am also a bit worried about the "s" at the end
of the sec timespec for NPT, but if we disallow that on the wire, then
that's ok.

Incidentally - there are a few ABNF specs to write for the new section
5 - if somebody is keen before tomorrow...

I think I've addressed most of these, though of course the error case
section still requires a lot of work - Michael has had a good start at
that.

I still firmly believe that the actual discovery of track names and
named fragments is outside the scope of the document. All we can do is
provide examples for how it works with some existing file formats.

Happy for someone to add a paragraph on this - how to resolve the
different dimensions has not really been described yet in section 5.

My section 5 has a different proposal, since everything is eventually
mapped to byte ranges. If you read section 5, you will see.


Cheers,
Silvia.
