Re: ISSUE-415 (TTML2): TTML2 is confusing [TTML WebVTT mapping note]

Hi Mike,

To clarify- we defined a profile, with the abbreviation “T2VP”, to be used as part of a strategy for mapping from TTML documents to WebVTT.  The profile constrains TTML to features that can be mapped straightforwardly to WebVTT.  It is not intended to align with any other timed text formats or with any other profiles of TTML.  The purpose and definition of the profile are described in section 2.1 of the Mapping document.

So, with that clarification, does this issue become- “Change the abbreviation for the mapping profile because T2VP is confusingly similar to TTML2?”
