Loretta TTML is essentially XML (Sean Hayes will correct me, but in principle, ya, it is XML-ish), and so converting XML-marked content to another "markup format" is a common occurrence already today. David, I would hope we would also be ensuring that SMPTE-TT would also be "convertible" within the same mapping effort. At this point I would also express positive support for working with the Timed Text WG as proposed. JF
