Hi Dae,

How does Netflix plan to use <initial>?

The current ED states "conditionalized element" is "To Be Defined".

Best,

>>
>>    pal: That's my recollection, but it sounds like Glenn is

>>    ... So for those who choose to describe processors as

>>
>>    glenn: That's right. I don't disagree with Andreas but I think

>>    it's completely out of scope and having normative
>>    ... language that allows us to introduce defined behaviour.
>>
>>    pal: The particular thing here is that it's a class of
>>    processors described as validating processors.
>>
>>    glenn: Yes, TTML2 introduces these all formally along with some
>>    specific vocabulary for controlling it. I didn't want

>>

>>
>>    glenn: I agree that's possible.

>>

>>

>>
