ISSUE-164 (rolenames): managing x-role extensions [DFXP 1.0]

http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/164

Raised by: Sean Hayes
On product: DFXP 1.0

The TTML specification allows vendors or other interested parties to specify private role names using an x- prefix. Given the recent debate over vendor prefixes in CSS, it would probably be a good idea to revisit this concept and potentially allow a single extension registry (e.g. a W3C wiki) that provides a lightweight mechanism for users to coin new roles, share previously defined ones, and promote interoperability.
