Hi, It's nice to see progress on the Time text spec's, I feel there is a missed opportunity to make Timed text more than a captioning format, not that captioning isn't important. If TT also could provide fading in and out, the text can be used like an image or sound in presentation, it can be another expressive media element. This is an previously posted example from the old TT mailing list: (HTML+SMIL for IE 6, about a minute long and 1MB, preloaded) http://www.geocities.com/ramirez_j2001/test3/poem/html_smil_example.html Now the same presentation without fading: http://www.geocities.com/ramirez_j2001/test3/poem/html_smil_example-nf.html If linking were added, Timed text can be used to jump to other parts of the document or any other resource on the web. It would be a real web language, without the 'A' element it's a neutered language. Good luck all, Jose Ramirez
