Re: Change Proposal 21 review

Hi Glenn et al.,

Thanks for the additional details.

As far as I can tell this is substantially different than the HGroup
feature in ST 428-7. Specifically, the horizontal text in ST 428-7 is
not "combin[ed] into an em square of the surrounding vertical text,"
but rather set horizontally with a font size selected by the author.

The liaison (Section 6.11 of ST 428-7) does not contain this
limitation, but merely notes that "this is most commonly used to
present special characters in a text string that is being displayed
vertically."

I recommend TTWG ultimately communicates to SMPTE its disposition on
these requests.

Best,
