Re: ISSUE-330 (Is Presented Region a synonym for temporally active region?): Is Presented Region a synonym for temporally active region? [TTML IMSC 1.0]

Hi Pierre,

Iıve added a note to ISSUE-330, quoted here for convenience:

The updated text uses phrases such as Œearlier/later in the documentı -
this does not address my original concern, that the test for earlier and
later is not precisely enough defined. Do you mean to compare the byte
locations of the opening tag of the elements in the flattened document
structure, for example?

It is also unclear in the new wording (list item 2) how an ISD ³maps² to a
content element. An ISD is typically constructed from multiple elements
simultaneously. There seems to be an assumption that an ISD can only
relate to a single p, which is such a significant constraint that I wonder
if it was intended.

Take this example:

<p id="p1" begin="00:01:00" end="00:02:00">
[some stuff]
</p>
<p id="p2" begin="00:01:30" end="00:01:45">
[some other stuff]
</p>

We have here the following ISDs:
1. 00:01:00 containing p1
2. 00:01:30 containing p1 and p2
3. 00:01.45 containing p1
4. 00:02:00 containing nothing

Is this progressively decodable? Did the 3rd ISD above 'map' to p2? It
doesn't itself contain p2: it simply has its timing derived from p2.


Kind regards,


Nigel
