   pal: I've proposed a resolution on all the comments, so I can
   walk through them and point out the document edits
   ... LC-2983
   ... No actionable comments. Thanking DVB for input would be
   appropriate.

   <scribe> ACTION: pal Thank DVB for input re LC-2983 [recorded
   in [12]http://www.w3.org/2014/11/06-tt-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-348 - Thank dvb for input re lc-2983
   [on Pierre-Anthony Lemieux - due 2014-11-13].

   pal: LC-2982
   ... I've added Example 4 as a code example for Forced Content.

   pal: I propose moving LC-2982 to pending for review by the
   group in the next week, then moving to resolved prior to
   sending out.

   tmichel: Yes, once we have the resolution from the WG then I or
   Nigel can send the response back to the commenter.

   pal: In this case we could move directly to Resolved-yes, but
   maybe giving the group a week to resolve it and move to Pending
   in the meantime.

   nigel: Yes please, move it to Pending.

   pal: Doing that.
   ... LC-2975
   ... I thought I'd replaced all of 'subtitle document' with the
   TTML1 defined term 'Document Instance' - it turns out maybe
   not.
   ... I've added the defined term Document Instance too.
   ... I've found the two instances, fixing right now.

   <scribe> ... done.

   pal: That'll be corrected next time I commit to trunk.

   nigel: I think that'll fix it.

   pal: LC-2976
   ... I've revised section 5.1 to add "The method by which this
   association is made is left to each application."

   group: seems happy with that.

   pal: Moving that one to Pending.
   ... LC-2968 - we covered this at TPAC already and there's
   already a proposed resolution.
   ... I added an informative note on section 8.3 explaining how
   it can be done in TTML1 using multiple regions.
   ... LC-2973
   ... There were really two comments here. Firstly, trying to
   clarify what a conforming processor should do with foreign
   namespaces attributes and elements.
   ... Secondly that the specification did not forbid the
   introduction of new elements and attributes in the IMSC
   namespace outside W3C.
   ... In §6.3 I've added a paragraph to replicate TTML1 to state
   that the namespace is mutable and reserved by W3C for future
   expansion.
   ... I also added in §6.2 the same prose as in TTML1 to say that
   a document may contain elements and attributes that are neither
   ... specifically permitted nor forbidden by a profile

   jdsmith: So the implication is you would tolerate extra
   attributes?

   pal: That's right - the intent is to replicate what was in
   TTML1. Andreas's concern was that 'ignore' for a transformation
   ... processor isn't clear - does it mean 'remove' or 'keep and
   do nothing'?

   nigel: It's possibly not clear what a processor should do if it
   encounters a non-IMSC element or attribute.
   ... Perhaps the language from TTML1 §3.2.1 Generic Processor
   Performance should be brought in (3rd list item).

   pal: That's already brought in by reference.
   ... I think Andreas's issue was the term 'ignore' which might
   be considered to force processors to drop such entities.

   jdsmith: This seems subtle but complete when you consider the
   TTML1 references.

   pal: Marking as pending.

   nigel: Andreas has an opportunity to verify this.

   pal: LC-2977 Forced Display.
   ... The first part of the comment is that not all combinations
   of values are described. I've added a sentence to the second
   ... paragraph to cover other combinations.
   ... The second part of the comment is about improving the note
   by pointing out it only applies to non-transparent background.
   ... My take on this is that the note doesn't only apply in that
   case. Unless we're absolutely certain then I'm concerned about
   ... making it too narrow.

   nigel: I think possibly padding could apply, but as written the
   comment is accurate I believe. It's still reasonable to make
   ... no change given how specific that circumstance is, and to
   respond to the commenter that this is our decision.

   pal: I've slightly changed the wording of the note in the
   editor's draft to make it a bit easier to read.
   ... The biggest edit is a reference back to TTML1 to describe
   the circumstances in which this applies.

   nigel: We could respond that 'While technically the note may
   only apply when a non-transparent background is applied to a
   region the intent has a broader applicability, to warn
   authors...'

   pal: I'm updating it now.
   ... Also marking as pending.
   ... LC-2978 altText
   ... I added a document convention section to reference the
   conventions used in TTML1 for specifying styling attributes and
   XML elements.
   ... That should satisfy the commenter.

   nigel: There's a reader-friendliness question whether it's okay
   to refer to another document just for document conventions, but
   normatively this does address the comment.

   pal: So much of this document is dependent on TTML1 that the
   reader needs to be aware of TTML1 anyway.
   ... Marking as pending.
   ... LC-2979
   ... Constraints on the #timing feature. The text previously
   said "The same syntax of #clock-time or #offset-time should be
   used throughout the subtitle document."
   ... I read the comment from the commenter on what this means to
   use the same syntax.
   ... I tried to be more specific here in this revision by
   stating that: "A Document Instance should use either the
   offset-time or offset-time syntax for all time expressions used
   therein."
   ... Oh I see there's a typo here. This should read: "A Document
   Instance should use either the clock-time or offset-time syntax
   for all time expressions used therein."
   ... This is just to make it easier for instance documents to
   read.

   nigel: I'm not sure how this addresses Andreas's question.

   pal: They would all be examples of clock time syntax so they
   would be the same syntax.
   ... The revised text tries to be more specific.

   nigel: As written this doesn't require that all time
   expressions must use the same syntax throughout the document.
   ... How about:
   ... "All time expressions within a Document Instance should use
   the same syntax, either clock-time or offset-time."

   pal: Looks fine to me.
   ... I'm making the change and will make it Pending after
   committing.
   ... LC-2974 #length-cell
   ... #length-cell was forbidden but that conflicted with
   ebutts:linePadding which uses length-cell. So I've updated the
   ... constraint to make an exception for ebutts:linePadding.
   ... Marking as pending.
   ... LC-2980 default Region
   ... I've now made this a defined term pointing back to TTML1's
   definition.
   ... Marking as pending.
   ... LC-2981 Reference fonts
   ... This is text we hadn't touched for a while so it prompted
   me to go into this deeper. The intent was really not so much
   ... to mandate a processor behaviour but to ensure that the
   document is authored using those reference fonts when
   applicable.
   ... Of course a presentation processor can choose whether or
   not to use those reference fonts.
   ... I've pulled out Reference Fonts from the HRM - the HRM is
   now only about document constraints.
   ... I've moved Reference Fonts to the Text Profile sections.
   ... This reads as a requirement on the authored document.

   nigel: This doesn't actually require that text doesn't overflow
   the region even when laid out using the reference font metrics.

   pal: That's an authorial decision - if the author wants to
   overflow that choice is available.
   ... The next step if we want to be stronger is to make it a
   normative requirement on presentation processors.
   ... That's the comment.

   nigel: I'd made the same misreading.

   pal: It's not entirely clear in CFF-TT. An implementor reading
   this and implementing a presentation processor would be
   ... ill-advised not to use the metrics of the reference fonts
   because otherwise the document will not look like the author
   ... intended.

   nigel: The problem is that any test written against this spec
   text would have nothing to check.

   pal: If there's any doubt here then I'd rather make it a
   presentation processor requirement to make it crystal clear and
   adopt
   ... what the commenter suggested, and be prescriptive on
   processors.

   nigel: I think we need a good review period on this since it
   could be viewed as a substantive change by some readers.

   pal: I'll make the edit as suggested by the commenter and set
   it to pending, and we can discuss it next week.
   ... For all the other ones that are marked pending can we ask
   the group to review and we can mark any with no comments
   ... as resolved.

   nigel: I think so, yes.
