I found that before minute 16 it is all about TTML. After that it's about WebVTT and SMPTE-TT. At 20m min Michael talks about the former problem we had with https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/text-tracks/raw-file/default/608toVTT/608toVTT.html#browsers and the on-screen text states that we had corrected the problem. I assume, Michael, that you gave this talk a before we made the fix? Also, Michael, you might be curious to learn that all browsers by now support WebVTT natively through the <track> element - alas not all the features, e.g. IE doesn't do any placement or coloring, and Firefox doesn't support CSS on captions yet. Cheers, Silvia.
