RE: ISSUE-101 (rollup interval): aribitrary interval for rollup needs justification [DFXP 1.0 (Editorial)]

one more thing:  in the 708 specification (http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Notices/1999/fcc99180.txt), i found the following info:

============

  9.10.4 Scroll Rate
  
  At a minimum, decoders must support the same recommended practices for scroll rate as
  is provided for NTSC closed-captioning.
  
  9.10.5 Smooth Scrolling
  
  At a minimum, decoders must support the same recommended practices for smooth
  scrolling as is provided for NTSC closed-captioning.

============


this would mean that .433s is the minimum rate at which DTV decoders must scroll the text.  to be consistent with this, perhaps we should alter the text to include both analog and digital specs, like this:


"If the value of this attribute is rollUp, then this value is interpreted as a shorthand value equivalent to out(line,smooth) inter(0.433s).  This time interval is intended to be compatible with "Closed Caption Decoder Requirements for Analog Television," page 792 (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2005/octqtr/47cfr15.119.htm), and "Closed Captioning Requirements for Digital Television Receivers," Sections 9.10.4 and 9.10.5 (http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Notices/1999/fcc99180.txt)."

Ok, although rather than 'defined by'; I'd prefer to say 'intended to be compatible with', since we are defining it and we don't want it as a normative reference.

rollup doesn't seem to be defined in EBU3264 or DVB subtitles, so unless Franz or David objects to the US centric nature of this reference, this is fine by me.

for section 8.2.7 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-ttaf1-dfxp-20090511/#style-attribute-dynamicFlow), paragraph #5:

"If the value of this attribute is rollUp, then this value is interpreted as a shorthand value equivalent to out(line,smooth) inter(0.433s).  This time interval is defined by "Closed Caption Decoder Requirements for Analog Television," page 792 (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2005/octqtr/47cfr15.119.htm).

how's that?

That would be helpful. If you can suggest wording for the spec that would be even better.

this corresponds to the speed of the scroll of 608 roll-up displays, i believe.  i can look this up if you need me to.

In the Proposed 'rollup' shorthand. The 'inter' value of 0.433s needs some justification or explanantion
