ACTION-247: Clarification on what will remain in the Media Fragments URI specification

Dear all,

We have discussed this during last week telecon, see 
http://www.w3.org/2011/12/07-mediafrag-minutes.html#item02 and I had 
individual conversations with some of you offline.

The issue is: what parts should ultimately remain in the Media Fragments 
URI specification that will be published as a full W3C recommendation 
(and will have proved to be a standard with sufficient interoperable 
implementations) and what will be documented in a separate document, to 
capture our thinking, with the status of a W3C note, and that might be 
taken over in the future by a new chartered working group?

The proposal I have made that currently seems to gather consensus:
  - A document named: "Media Fragments URI Basics" that will be closed 
to what is currently published at http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/ with 
a few removal, namely:
	. Only two dimensions described for addressing fragment in a URI 
(impact on section 4): temporal and spatial
	. Only one unit to specify the temporal dimension: npt timecodes
   - A document named: "Media Fragments URI Advanced" that will be 
closed to what is published at http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags-recipes/ 
with a few addition, namely:
	. Two more dimensions for addressing fragment in a URI (track and id)
	. Two more units to specify the temporal dimension: SMPTE and clock 
timecodes

Naturally, this impacts the overall text that needs to be adjusted and 
the section 6 regarding Media Fragments Semantics. I have proposed to do 
those edits before Christmas providing that there is no disagreement on 
this proposal (see ACTION-249).

Question: does someone disagree with this proposal?
Best regards.

   Raphaël
