1st Public Working Draftt: Timed Text (TT) Authoring Format 1.0 - Distribution Format Exchange Profile (DFXP)

I am please to report that the Timed Text Working Group has published a
1st Public Working Draft entitled "Timed Text (TT) Authoring Format 1.0
- Distribution Format Exchange Profile (DFXP)" [1].

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-ttaf1-dfxp-20041101/

The primary intent of the DFXP is to support interchange among the
common features of certain existing distribution formats, such as 3GPP
Timed Text, QuickText (Apple), RealText (RealNetworks), SAMI
(Microsoft), World Standard Teletext (WST), EIA-608, and EIA-708. Note,
however, that not all features of these existing formats are necessarily
supported by the DFXP.

Although the DFXP is designed as an authoring format, it is not
precluded from being used as a distribution format in its own right,
e.g., by implementing native support for the DFXP in a SMIL or other
multimedia user agent.

If you have comments on this first draft WD, then please send email to
this reflector or to me personally if you prefer to comment privately.

Regards,
Glenn Adams
Chair Timed Text WG
