Re: BBC submission on Safe Crop Area

Rereading your original submission, and have a few comments/questions:

Scale the root container region to the display size and lose positional
> accuracy, and risk introducing line breaks and/or overflow scenarios.


I would not expect a change in line breaks/overflow, since here "scale"
means scale the formatted image of the root container, and not change the
root container dimensions and re-layout accordingly.

Visible Rendering Region


Regarding use of the term *Related Media Object Region* (RMOR), TTML1
defines the extent of the *Root Container Region* (RCR) as follows:

   1. If @tts:extent absent on tt:tt, then EXTENT(RCR) = EXTENT(RMOR)
   2. otherwise, EXTENT(RCR) = @tts:extent

Also, TTML1 effectively:

   - defines RCR to be coincident with document coordinate space (DCS);
   - defines RMOR to be coincident with document coordinate space (DCS);
   - thus RCR and RMOR are coincident;
   - notes that (in the XSL-FO mapping) that the XSL-FO page-viewport-area
   corresponds with the RCR;
   - appears to assume that *Pixel Aspect Ratio* (PAR) of *Related Media
   Object* (RMO) corresponds with PAR of DCS;

Further, the relationship between the *Root Media Object* (RMO) and the
RMOR appears to be wholly defined by the *Document Processing Context* (DPC).
So, for example, EXTENT(RMOR) and EXTENT(RMO) [in DCS] may be the same or
different. If different, then EXTENT(RMOR) may be presumed to be contained
in EXTENT(RMO) although this is not stated or implied.

Why the *should*? Isn't this an author choice? Better to simply say that
safe crop area must (or should) not change over time (for a given binding
of a set of TTML files and a RMO).

I don't know how to interpret "maintain text size and positional alignment
...". What does that mean for a processor?
