We need a method to define a consistent layout for *any* well behaved client. Consider two scenarios: 1) we implement a client to present the W3C-tt, 2) we pass the W3C-tt to a client that will do the presentation (i.e. game console, etc.). For both of these scenarios, the client *must* present the captions in a proper and consistent way. This is our use case, and it does not work if TT presentation is based on an undefined "external authoring context". We believe that our use case can be accomplished as follows: 1) Cell or percentage positioning 2) default <tt tts:extent> 3) The addition of root container aspect ratio (along with a default behavior for centering the root container in the video window rule).
