Re: proposed updated response to MPEG on codecs

Thanks Mike, 

This works for me. One minor typo is that we agreed to call it
processorProfiles (plural) not processorProfile.

I agree the best way forward is to update the IANA registration to
accompany this, and update the TTML2 spec to match. I don't think this is
contentious so, in the interests of getting a usable message back to MPEG,
I'm happy to communicate it now and seek to resolve it formally in one of
the upcoming meetings, though some might consider this the wrong sequence.
My sense is that we've essentially agreed it informally already.

* If anyone objects to this approach please shout ASAP!

I've added Issue-351 for updating the IANA registration, and Issue-352 for
adding a Media Registration Annex to TTML2, similar to Annex C in TTML1,
with 352 to be done after 351 has been completed.

Who can volunteer to update the IANA registration?

Kind regards,

Nigel
