************************************************************************
1. frame rates [1]
************************************************************************

* frame rate exactness and ability to translate between frame rates

ttp:frame-rate
ttp:frame-rate-multiplier

* definition of fields/sub-frames requires knowledge of progressive vs
interlace

ttp:sub-frame-rate

* ability for author to express that SMPTE times are being used in a
linear,
continuous fashion;

ttp:smpte-mode = linear, non-linear; if not expressed, then linear is
assumed;

* syntactic expression of smpte times vs media times

ttp:timebase = "media" | "smpte" | "clock"

[MD] notes that there may be potential uncertainty on interpretation
of SMPTE codes relating to drop frame, and progressive modes, and that
SMPTE 12M is under revision to further specify the parameter space
that defines these modes.

[GA] suggests we adopt the above parameters, and revising or removing
during LC/CR/PR processing cycle to address changes that are made to
12M.

Resolution: add ttp:frame-rate-multiplier, ttp:sub-frame-rate,
ttp:smpte-mode, ttp:timebase parameters to express exact frame rate,
sub-frame rate (permits distinction of progressive and interlaced
fields), linear or non-linear interpretation of SMPTE time
expressions, and global use and interpretation of common time
expression syntax.

Action: [GA] add ttp:frame-rate-multiplier, ttp:sub-frame-rate,
ttp:smpte-mode, ttp:timebase parameters to DFXP LC draft.

[DK] How to express ticks and ticks per second? Semantically different
from frame.

Action: [GA] propose mechanism or language in DFXP LC draft that
permits use of ticks, which may or may not be related any way to
video frames.

************************************************************************
2. root container geometry [2]
************************************************************************

Resolution: put all parameters on <tt> (in DFXP) and make them global.

[*] No objections.

Action: [GA] update LC draft to express all ttp:* on root element.

************************************************************************
3. script citations [3]
************************************************************************

[DK] no update.

************************************************************************
4. charter and work plan
************************************************************************

************************************************************************
5. status on [DS] comments.
************************************************************************

[GA] Suggests [DS] review LC draft when it becomes available.

************************************************************************
6. next face-to-face planning
************************************************************************

[GA] Plans to work on LC comments, other existing WG comments, QA and
test suite planning, CR planning.

*** RESOLUTIONS ***

Resolution: add ttp:frame-rate-multiplier, ttp:sub-frame-rate,
ttp:smpte-mode, ttp:timebase parameters to express exact frame rate,
sub-frame rate (permits distinction of progressive and interlaced
fields), linear or non-linear interpretation of SMPTE time
expressions, and global use and interpretation of common time
expression syntax.

Resolution: put all (ttp:) parameters, including ttp:content-extent,
on <tt> (in DFXP) and make them global.

*** NEW ACTION ITEMS ***

Action: [GA] add ttp:frame-rate-multiplier, ttp:sub-frame-rate,
ttp:smpte-mode, ttp:timebase parameters to DFXP LC draft.

Action: [GA] propose mechanism or language in DFXP LC draft that
permits use of ticks, which may or may not be related any way to
video frames.

Action: [GA] update LC draft to express all ttp:* on root element.

*** OPEN ACTION ITEMS ***

Action: [EH] Provide use cases in TT context for priority class attr
usage.

Action: [SH] To elaborate use cases for audio embed usage.

Action: [GA] to generalize and clearly articulate [MD] feedback on XBC
with TT-AF structured timing as use case, then send to WG for review
prior to forwarding to XBC.

Action: [GA] need to document conventions regarding normative definition
of element vocabulary and syntax used therein.

Action: [GA] need to characterize definitions of vocabulary as normative
while supplied schemas are informative.

Action: [GA] review recent proposed changes regarding xml:space from
XML Core Working Group with view of changing our vocabulary definitions
as necessary.

Action: [GA] restore nested <div/> in content model.

Action: [GA] ensure that background color applies to content elements
as well as region.

Action: [GA] change language in vocab element defs that defines equiv
class of attrs in foreign namespace to not admit unqualified attrs.

Action: [GA] need to ensure that we document whether time intervals
are half-opened intervals or closed. We always use half-opened intervals
for [begin,end) = [begin,begin+dur).

Action: [GA] ensure there is language that gives precendence to
end over dur in case both are specified.

Action: [GA] remove region attribute from span element.

Action: [GA], prompted by [SH], need to define what is meant by begin
attribute on <body>.

Action: [KB] lookup whether default time container for SMIL body is
seq or par. Report back by tomorrow (9/16).

Action: [GA] add table indicating default values for timeContainer.

Action: [GA] remove nested <span> support from schema and span
element definition.

Action: [GA] Update schema to permit multiple tts:* attributes on
style element.

Action: [GA] make style attribute IDREFS instead of ID.

Action: [GA] add style attribute to <g/>.

Action: [GA] change region so that it uses style attribute to
refer to styles in addition to defining them inline as children.

Action: [GA] need to establish precedence for different style
association mechanisms as follows, with priority order as follows:
(1) inline, (2) referential or chained referential, (3) region
referential. In case that referential or chained referential results
in a diamond graph, then last instance of style in pre-order depth
first traversal wins.

Action: [SH] will research issue of interaction of combination rule
#2 and region referential styling.

Action: [GA] add <p> and <span> to list of elements to which
background-color applies

Action: [GA] change initial value of color style property to
transparent. [N.B. consequence of this is that unless author
specifies a color, then content will be invisible.]

Action: [GA] restore "inherit" value for style properties.

Action: [GA] specify language about meaning of line height.

Action: [GA] formulate proposal to express coordinates in rows
and columns and to express total # of rows/cols for which content was
composed.

Action: [GA] change DFXP schema and WD to use <meta> instead of
<metadata>.

Action: [DK] Discuss with [MD] how to express pull-down parameters to
completely characterize frame and field composition.

Action: [GA] need to add following metadata items to schema and spec:
ttm:frame-rate ttm:frame-width ttm:frame-height
ttm:pixel-aspect-ratio ttm:content-width ttm:content-height
ttm:content-x ttm:content-y ttm:horizontal-resolution
ttm:vertical-resolution.

Action: [GA] need to specify semantics for each metadata item, need
to specify what it means if multiple items with same name are present
in some context, and if not permitted, expected behavior.

Action: [GA] add definitions of following metadata elements to schema
and spec for DFXP: ttm:agent, ttm:name, ttm:givenName,
ttm:familyName, ttm:actor. Also add ttm:agent attribute to <p> and
<span>.

Action: [GA] add ttm:title, ttm:description, ttm:copyright to schema
and spec for DFXP.

Action: [GA] ensure that all elements can also take ttm:* attributes,
but need to define in context of specific elements which ones have
standard semantics.

Action: [GA] define semantics of ttm:agent metadata attribute such that
inner specifications override outer specifications, e.g.,

Action: [GA] change text-shadow to text-outline with value syntax as
follows: none | <color> <thickness> <blur-radius>, where thickness and
blur-radius are expressed as <length>.

Action: [GA] add span to wrap-option "applies to".

Action: [GA] for each AFXP style property that we don't include in DFXP,
need to specify a normative default value for DFXP, but do so in a way
that doesn't require normative use of AFXP specification.

Action: [GA] since <color>s are opaque, need to say so in verbiage.

Action: [GA] Remove misspelled "monotype" entry from <generic-family-
name>, and replace it with "default". All other entries are also to be
removed for present time.

Action: [GA] Add row/col units to <length> style value expression.

Action: [GA] Ensure that if we define overflow="clip" on region that
we say that outermost region is expected to be clipped in all cases.

Action: [GA] change overflow attribute on region to use tts:overflow
style property, which applies only to region, and which supports values:
visible, hidden, inherit.

Action: [GA] Change clock-value syntax to support expressing optional
frames and subframes in order to express NPT media times. Define clock
value semantically to be NPT for TT media object. Remove optional "+"
value from offset-expression (in which case we don't need "offset-
expression" intermediate term).

Action: [GA] allow style to use style attribute to refer to other
styles, since we effectively now allow <style> to work like a group of
styles.

Action: [GA] remove "div" from display-align's applies to list. Can't
apply to div since div has no explicit height/width.

Action: [GA] Add ttm:default-time-metric metadata item. Takes
values that are one of time-count metric, e.g., "h", "m", "s",
"f", etc.

Action: [GA] send John's document to WG reflector, then (at some point
in future) ask him to send to public list so it can be handled as public
submission.

Action: [GA] Add informative Annex to DFXP spec which enumerates the
requirements of TT-AF-1-0-REQ which are intentionally not intended to
be met in DFXP.

Action: [KB] Review the March 2002 TT Task Force requirements to see if
the current TT-AF-1-0-REQ does not include all those earlier
requirements,
and if not, then make a case for including in TT-AF-1-0-REQ. [TM] will
help as required and report back to WG.

Action: [DB] to send draft intro text with example by Monday (10/04).

Action: [MD] to send normative text descriptions of SMPTE marker labels.
Will send after returning from vacation in a week's time.

Action: [DS] to send font registration I-D to IETF editors for
publishing.

Action: [MD] to send normative text descriptions of SMPTE marker labels.
Will send after returning from vacation in a week's time.

Action: [GA] To make necessary chanes to DFXP draft to support ttm:desc
and ttm:title in contexts where tt:meta can appear.

Action: [GA] To send minutes with attached lastest draft (in the form
of an "editor's copy") of DFXP to public TT reflector by end of day
on Oct 18 unless objection arises from some member.

Action: [GA] send email to reflector on need to distinguish between
outer media time and timebase time (based on parent relationships);
issue
is as follows: if you have begin="00:00:01", then does this denote
1 sec in time base established by parent element, or does it denote
1 sec into the TT media object (independently of parent timebases)?
Can one mix both timebase times and outer media times?

Action: [GA] to complete DFXP draft 6 and sent to member reflector
by noon ET on Tuesday, 10/26/04, then work with [TM] to request
publishing as Public WD.

Action: [TM] to draft request for [GA] to send to appropriate parties
to begin process of advancing DFXP to public WD.

Action: [GA] To verify that TTPRO DB is well configured to handle
DFXP comments.

Action: [DK] To help verify that TTPRO DB is populated with open
DFXP issues.

Action: [GA] Will resolve any issues about having F2F with W3T
(Philipp Hoschka) and report results.

Action: [GA] To send notice to reflector and request Thierry to post
standard meeting participation info.

Action: [MD] Will review and propose changes/additions as necessary
regarding ttm:role values.

Action: [MD] Will review and propose changes/additions as necessary
regarding ttm:frame-rate and use of time values.

reflector.

Action: [KB] to review metadata for content adaptation workshop
presentations [15] to see if there is relevant input to our work on
DFXP.

Action: [GA] to investigate and propose definition of whitespace
normalization to apply when xml:space="default".

Action: [GA] add language under namespace and/or conventions section
that
indicates that if an element type is used unqualified in spec then it is
in tt: namespace.

Action: [GA] need to add definition of "S" non-terminal used in 5.2.5.

Action: [GA] consider need for tts:display in context of using <set/>.

map monospace-* and proportional-* should be monospace, proportional,
etc.

Action: [GA] further research required on quoted-string.

Action: [DK] to obtain permission and propose language for proper
attribution in acknowledgments annex.
