Re: Joining the Media Fragment WG and contribution for the use cases of media fragments

Dear Nobu,

As we briefly discussed on IRC, you are encouraged to describe the use 
case in a new wiki page.

Currently, the media fragment URI does not enable to address 2 different 
regions in a single URI. Furthermore, the specification does not enable 
to address a moving region over the time. The rationale is that it could 
be very complex to specify such a thing and we do not think that e.g. 
Fourrier transform formula describing trajectories should be specified 
in a URI. MPEG-7 enables to do complex object tracking: do you have the 
same need?

That are indeed good questions. We will discuss the accuracy aspect on 
the test cases framework that will check the implementations.

Do you plan to provide some client and/or server implementation of the 
Media Fragment URI specification ? We would be very happy to hear your 
plans with respect to implementation and a short description of the 
application / use case you would like to realize.

Yes, good point. It would also be good to list what are all the other 
things not permitted by the spec yet that we could do in future versions.

Yes, please do so, thanks.
Best regards.
