RE: A new proposal for how to deal with text track cues

I’m not personally over concerned with where or who does this kind of work, but am far more concerned with how it is done.

For me, a process that involves substantial requirements analysis performed with the involvement of all potentially interested parties seems far more likely to result in a workable specification.
If WebVTT is targeted at commercial use cases, it does IMHO seem to lack an evident appreciation of current captioning /subtitling workflows and conventions.

YMMV,

John

Silvia,

At first order, we need to resolve a major process issue, namely, where to do this work. I doubt if I'm alone in thinking that the HTML ML or WG is not the right place.

is preparing for TTML to be parsed into HTML cues. I believe this new
proposal is more suited to a common approach to for TTML and WebVTT.
