ISSUE-303 (<a> link element): Permit HTML-style <a> elements to contain href links [TTML2] http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/303 Raised by: Nigel Megitt On product: TTML2 Permit <a> elements with href and target attributes only, around content elements or text. This appears to be the minimal useful set of attributes around a link that may appear in a timed context. The purpose of the target is to permit the linked content to be loaded into an alternate context: one possible use case for this is to allow the linked content to be loaded into a different window or iframe without interrupting the flow of captions displayed against a video that's being watched. More concretely, this could be used for example for 'go here for more information' links or 'go here to vote for candidate X' links. A third example could be 'go here for these subtitles in language [xyz]'. I don't know if this has been raised before, but it seems so obvious that I'm surprised I couldn't find an issue for it - happy to be told where to look for it if this is a duplicate. Apologies if I'm opening a can of worms that everybody would rather stay closed...
