Signaling authorial intent re: inter-line background

Hi all,

As I understand issue #209 [1] against ttml1, there is a desire to
fill gaps between two adjacent lines with the background color used .

It is however not clear whether this is purely a presentation
processor preference (as suggested in [2] ?) and/or also an authorial
preference. If it is the latter, then we should file an issue against
IMSC and TTML2. In particular, it would be awkward for an author to
create subtitles with the expectations that the video appears between
the lines, only to see the space filled in some implementations.

In any event, +1 to Andreas' suggestion to make this topic a key part
of the discussion in tomorrow's telecon.

Best,

-- Pierre
