Yes I've looked at this, we did discuss it briefly; although the notes don't reflect it. I think it's a reasonable basic approach, but I'd like to see it be a little more general, allowing for the possibility of audio description tracks using the <audio> tag for <video> and even sign translation tracks, also I don't think there is a need to invent much, SMIL <audio> and <video> are in fact synonyms of the more general media <ref>, as are <text> and <animation> and others. In my opinion HTML could adopt this same notion. I don't think HTML should be looking at importing a lot of SMIL (although I guess they could reference a SMIL file with a media tag), but by adopting the basic media module <ref> and its synonyms, and allowing the sync* attributes, this could all be achieved.

I'll look into this as part of the WAI/HTML TF You might want to consider a proposal that I submitted to WHATWG/WAI/HTML recently, see http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-July/021658.html . It indeed introduces markup to reference a file - and it could reference a DFXP file. I am planning t make a demo with DFXP though the current demo only uses srt for simplicity. Best Regards, Silvia.
