Well, we don't consider 'tracks' with an 's' either in the grammar :-) We have discussed in today's telecon that we would not like to allow something like: <uri>#t=30,90&t=10,15. More generally, we don't want that the time or the space dimension is specified more than once in the fragment because we don't want to bother trying to understand what does it mean. The question remains for the track dimension, since it is reasonable to restrict a media file to a number of tracks. I see (at least) two points to resolve: - What are the changes we need to make (if any) in the grammar to allow a selection of multiple tracks in a fragment? Silvia has proposed: #track="audio(audesc,en);video(main,en);text(cc,en);text(sub,fr)" ... a semi-colon separator - What is the semantics of the fragment when one or multiple tracks is specified in a fragment? Does it mean *only* the tracks selected explicitly in the fragment? In other words: #track="audio(audesc,en);text(sub,fr);" will not contain video but just an audio and subtitle tracks? > The only reason was > that I wanted to keep the identifiers currently specified by the group as > they were.

And what does it mean? Is it an union? An intersect? An incluion (out of range in this case)?
