Re: Minutes from today's TTWG meeting

CR requires 2 implementations of every feature in the specification,
correct?

>>    thierry: That's a final step - I think we should be aiming to

>>
>>    david: I agree.
>>
>>    glenn: We could publish it as a WG Note, to make it easier for

>>
>>    nigel: This is a lot easier.

>>    thierry: That would probably be a final step to that work.

>> Tagging
>>
>>    david: DASH and the MP4 file format have a way to tag the kind
>>    of role of a track, using a URI
>>    ... to identify the vocabulary used, and then a term from that
>>    vocabulary. I need a URI to
>>    ... refer to the @kind vocabulary in the HTML5 specification,
>>    and there isn't one.
>>
>>    pierre: There is one but it is not complete, specified in DASH.
>>
>>    david: It is not specified in the HTML document itself.
>>
>>    pierre: That's correct. As long as we can reference the one in
>>    DASH that can be used.
>>
>>    david: Agreed there is a DASH vocabulary.
>>
>>    pierre: So the request to add one to HTML is not required for
>>    MPEG CMAF because the DASH one can be used.
>>
>>    david: I got agreement from WHATWG and the Web Platform WG for
>>    about:html-kind as the URI
>>    ... that refers to the @kind vocabulary in the HTML
>>    specification.
>>    ... And I have registered that with IANA.
>>    ... I'm waiting for that URI to appear in a revision of the Web
>>    Platform docs. When it is then
>>    ... I will update the IANA form.
>>
>>    nigel: It's good to have that but I would note that in my view
>>    the kind vocabulary is terrible.
>>
>>    glenn: There are some semantics associated, such as prevention
>>    of display of metadata tracks by the UA.
>>
>>    david: I would agree that the HTML vocabulary is both under-
>>    and over-specified simultaneously! (in different ways)
>>
>>    nigel: In my view it is insufficiently rich to describe the
>>    purpose and intent of the track data.
>>
>>    pierre: It would be great if as making the HTML vocabulary more
>>    official we could also fix it.
>>
>>    david: I support that.
>>    ... CMAF does prefer DASH at the moment - it says to use the
>>    DASH term if it supports what you want to do.
>>
>>    nigel: I also note that we have not addressed how to extract
>>    something equivalent to kind
>>    ... within a timed text document so that it can be extracted
>>    and used to embed into a host HTML page.
>>    ... We did address language recently, but not kind.
>>
>>    david: Some people want to manage external manifest files, but
>>    I'm in favour of self describing documents.
>>    ... I'm also aware of ongoing discussions about tags for easy
>>    to read captions (mandated by FCC) and karaoke.
>>
>>    pierre: There is a very specific definition of those two terms
>>    in karaoke.
>>
>>    glenn: In TTML2 we have a named metadata item for easy reader.
>>    There's nothing on karaoke per se.
>>    ... nothing that uses that term in TTML2.
>>
>>    nigel: [adjourns for a break] - let's meet in Auditorium IV at

>> TTML1 Errata
>>
>>    nigel: Are there any other errata other than for backgrounds on
>>    spans and lines?
>>
>>    pierre: The only thing I'd mention is that the computed style
>>    resolution for % is very well defined
>>    ... but the computed style for em is not so clear when you say
>>    e.g. tts:fontSize="2em" but
>>    ... that is with respect to the current font size but that is
>>    not well defined in TTML1. I assume
>>    ... it is relative to the parent element's font size but it
>>    does not say that clearly.
>>
>>    glenn: I would consult TTML1 and then go back and reference
>>    XSL-FO which would take me
>>    ... to CSS2. Without having done a recent review of that I
>>    don't know off the top of my head
>>    ... but I'm pretty sure you're right - it would have to make
>>    use of the computed font size of
>>    ... the parent element.
>>
>>    pierre: Notice that we already have issue #206 on the ttml1
>>    repo which is a bug about
>>    ... specifying em units for fontSize on region.
>>
>>    nigel: That sounds very similar.
>>
>>    glenn: Right now there are 23 open issues on TTML1 so I would
>>    expect that there are some
>>    ... errata to be written for those and they probably also need
>>    to be fixed in TTML 2 also.
>>
>>    pierre: I can go ahead and create an issue for this.
>>
>>    glenn: Go ahead - also refer to #206 - it may be related but
>>    more general.
>>    ... I think I propose that it should be in relation to 1c.
>>
>>    pierre: That was my first thought, but looking at XSL-FO I
>>    think it is probably more like %.
>>
>>    nigel: Okay, so the one on the agenda is:

>>
>>      [20] https://github.com/w3c/ttml1/issues/209
>>
>>    andreas: I think there has not been much progress since we last
>>    discussed it. We said we need
>>    ... more investigation to find a good solution. I want to point
>>    to something related.
>>    ... This problem about gaps between lines has been addressed by
>>    the HbbTV 2.0.1 spec
>>    ... which a lot of televisions will implement. At the moment
>>    that is not really interoperable

>>    it.
>>    ... References spec text from HbbTV 2.0.1 that, specific to
>>    EBU-TT-D 1.0 defines that
>>    ... where the lineHeight is "normal" or <125% the background of

>>
>>    glenn: We have a quasi default of doing what CSS does, which is

>>
>>    andreas: Yes.
>>

>>    pierre: A browser based CSS implementation would display a gap?
>>
>>    glenn: Correct
>>
>>    andreas: There are scripting techniques for getting around
>>    this.
>>
>>    pierre: If we feel this is a common requirement for
>>    accessibility then it needs to be addressed in the CSS WG
>>
>>    glenn: I've had a detailed offline discussion with Bert Bos
>>    about this and he pointed out that
>>    ... one of the advanced level 4 modules might at some point be
>>    able to deal with this.
>>    ... There are a whole bunch of assumptions in CSS on inline
>>    non-replaceable areas, for example
>>    ... you cannot specify the content height manually. The height
>>    property explicitly does not
>>    ... apply. That was the first problem we ran into, because we
>>    wanted the height of the content
>>    ... box to extend to the line area. Somewhere I proposed a mode
>>    for the style engine to use
>>    ... different semantics for the height of content areas. The
>>    question is can you have a profile
>>    ... that defaults the parameter to a particular value.
>>
>>    nigel: The pressing need here is to issue some statement on
>>    this for TTML1.
>>
>>    piere: I recall that some people use a style where they do
>>    actually want the gap.
>>
>>    andreas: yes, for example if you have the lineheight at 200%
>>    you don't want such a big background area.
>>
>>    pierre: In CSS can you always add padding to every line?
>>
>>    glenn: You can but the problem is you cannot determine at
>>    authoring time what value to add.
>>    ... At first order we should document more carefully what the
>>    current situation is in TTML1.
>>    ... That may allow people to come up with no-gap semantics. We
>>    could define the default
>>    ... semantics to be the no-gap scenario but if we do that we
>>    need to allow the author to define
>>    ... the other behaviour. If we change the default now what
>>    would that break?
>>
>>    nigel: I understand that the content rectangle is not well
>>    defined?
>>
>>    glenn: It is not, but all the browser implementations do it
>>    roughly the same way.
>>
>>    nigel: Could we add an informative note via an erratum to say
>>    that the content rectangle is
>>    ... not well defined but is commonly implemented so that it
>>    does not go to the line height?
>>
>>    pierre: That's not what I'm hearing. I think CSS needs to
>>    address this.
>>
>>    glenn: I'm worried that we cannot easily go back and
>>    retroactively define the content height
>>    ... to never show a gap.
>>
>>    pierre: It would be easier to do that if it were not that some
>>    folk like the gap.
>>
>>    glenn: In TTML2 we can add a new mode that drives that, but in
>>    TTML1 what can we do?
>>
>>    andreas: This requirement for no gaps came from accessibility
>>    guidelines to get proper presentation.
>>    ... The minimum we could say is that some specifications could
>>    define this.
>>
>>    pierre: If someone is overriding that rendering it needs to be
>>    flagged.
>>
>>    andreas: That will not change, I think this is more of an
>>    interoperability problem.
>>    ... There is an initial step e.g. for an IMSC 1.1, and then a
>>    long term TTML2 solution.
>>    ... For now we should say something about this in TTML1.
>>
>>    pierre: +1
>>
>>    andreas: I would also hope for a liaison to respond to this.
>>
>>    glenn: We can note that the algorithm for content height is not
>>    concretely defined and that
>>    ... browsers do behave the same with current CSS
>>    implementations and will introduce a gap.
>>    ... If we do want a new TTML1 feature we could write a short

>>
>>    nigel: +1

>>
>>    pierre: If there is an urgent need to address real problems we

>>
>>    glenn: I've heard 3 things: 1. Clarify TTML1 with an errata -
>>    we can do that non-controversially.
>>    ... 2. We can define new mechanisms in TTML2 - we can do that
>>    no problem.
>>    ... 3. More controversially, define a new extension style for
>>    TTML1. That creates another fork
>>    ... in the implementation space.
>>
>>    andreas: The target when this was discussed was an IMSC 1.1
>>    version. If that is possible we
>>    ... should do that.
>>
>>    pierre: Absolutely. The question is if there is an urgent need
>>    to resolve an industry problem now.
>>    ... The worst thing would be to make a change that does not
>>    solve the problem.
>>
>>    andreas: HbbTV has solved this for now - it would be
>>    interesting to know if this breaks
>>    ... current implementations.
>>
>>    pierre: it would be good to have a formal communication with
>>    HbbTV about this issue.
>>    ... It is essential that HbbTV is encouraged to communicate
>>    their requirements to this group and we should be welcoming of
>>    this, even if we make the initial communication.
>>
>>    andreas: We should also be clear that it is needed for

>>
>>    glenn: This is for image rendering support - I missed a couple

>>    ... an editorial note to add them.
>>    ... I ended up using backgroundExtent rather than
>>    backgroundSize for consistency.
>>
>>    nigel: Just a note on reviewing the PRs - they don't include
>>    the built HTML so it's hard to
>>    ... review or diff. I'd like a CI tool to build the HTML
>>    automatically so we can review it.
>>
>>    glenn: I could do the build and check in the built HTML but

>>
>>    nigel: So now we have backgroundOrigin as well as
>>    backgroundPosition?
>>
>>    glenn: We may want to rename these!
>>
>>    nigel: (notes that this looks analogous to origin and position
>>    but is not)
>>
>>    glenn: backgroundOrigin defines where the background is drawn
>>    relative to the content.
>>    ... This is as defined in CSS3 backgrounds and borders - it's
>>    the same semantic.
>>    ... I took off the -box suffix that's on CSS3.
>>
>>    nigel: I sense that there are some changes needed here to clear
>>    up the names and make them
>>    ... less potentially confusing. Also I'd encourage review of
>>    this in the context of IMSC 2
>>    ... if we want to support image placement in more detail.
>>
>>    pierre: This does not express how you would use SMPTE
>>    background image in IMSC 1.
>>
>>    glenn: That's actually mapped to the image element.
>>
>>    pierre: yes.
>>
>>    glenn: However we did define background image also in TTML2 and
>>    these attributes
>>    ... I believe fully define the semantics for background images.
>>    ... In the case of a foreground image these don't come up
>>    because they define the content
>>    ... rectangle. There's never a box in which to position it -
>>    that only applies when the image
>>    ... is used for the background. Also bear in mind that
>>    background images may be repeated
>>    ... in x and y directions, which can never happen with
>>    foreground images.
>>    ... For foreground image size you would use bpd and ipd rather
>>    than backgroundExtent.
>>    ... I need to think if it would ever be applicable to have the
>>    same semantic as backgroundExtent
>>    ... on a foreground image. I want to see if CSS allows that
>>    property on the image element
>>    ... in HTML and what does it mean.
>>
>>    nigel: Just considering the use cases for this - one that comes
>>    to mind is the use of a
>>    ... graduated fill background image that is animated to move
>>    along behind foreground text
>>    ... for karaoke usage. Do these semantics support that?
>>
>>    glenn: Yes I think you could animate the x and y positions,
>>    either discretely or continuous.
>>
>>    nigel: The conclusions for the time being are 1) that more
>>    thinking is needed for the names
>>    ... and 2) whether backgroundExtent can apply to foreground
>>    images.
>>    ... For the hard of thinking, some example images etc would
>>    really help, since the terminology

>>
>>      [31] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/pull/180
>>

>>
>>    nigel: Even if this is normative and clear I would prefer at

>>
>>    glenn: I'll see what I can do while I'm also dealing with the
>>    last line in the table.
>>
>>    nigel: Let's take a break - back here at 1545
>>    ... Next is Remove cea{608,708} prefix from named items.
>>    [32]https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/pull/182
>>
>>      [32] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/pull/182
>>
>>    glenn: I had the same question in my mind as Nigel, whether or
>>    not any of the deprefixed
>>    ... names had any similarity to the non-prefixed name. The
>>    programName and programType
>>    ... seem to be likely, the others not.
>>    ... The ones that had cea prefixes need to be syntactically
>>    compatible with SMPTE-TT.
>>    ... I can not simply remove the reference to 608 or 708 from
>>    the definition of them without
>>    ... sacrificing syntactic specificity.
>>
>>    nigel: And there's an editorial task to add the source
>>    definitions?
>>
>>    glenn: That's right.
>>    ... I'm pretty sure that programName is just a string and no
>>    more restricted. The originalProgrammeTitle
>>    ... is probably the same semantic.
>>    ... We also need to check with Mike Dolan since he was involved
>>    in defining these in
>>    ... SMPTE-TT. I think we should be able to merge programName
>>    and originalProgramTitle
>>    ... probably. We have to choose which token to end up with - I
>>    don't have a strong preference.
>>    ... My preference is to add a prefix back, but just make it cea
>>    or cta (remove the 608 or 708)
>>    ... and we could add it for EBU also.
>>
>>    nigel: An observation here is that building the named items
>>    into the TTML2 spec gives us a
>>    ... potential problem in that it makes it harder to update the
>>    list later. A common pattern
>>    ... is to reference an external list or classification scheme
>>    which can be updated independently.
>>    ... Since none of these named items normatively affects
>>    processing this should be okay.
>>    ... This is a bit like the role registry approach in TTML1.
>>
>>    glenn: In TTML1 we had a requirement to prefer Dublin Core, and
>>    after much debate we took
>>    ... a minimalist approach and hardly defined anything. Then
>>    SMPTE-TT came along and defined
>>    ... a whole bunch of metadata items for 608 and 708 that were
>>    thought to be important.
>>    ... Since one of the nominal driving factors for TTML2 is to
>>    support all the extensions in
>>    ... SMPTE-TT we ended up adding these in.
>>
>>    andreas: I think the most practical solution is to reference a
>>    document that we maintain that
>>    ... defines our unqualified namespace items and informatively
>>    links to other sources of
>>    ... namespace qualified items in other organisations'
>>    namespaces.
>>
>>    glenn: That sounds like a plan.
>>
>>    nigel: Same here.
>>
>>    glenn: I think we should leave in usesForced and
>>    alternativeText
>>
>>    nigel: Even those we do not need to be in the specification
>>
>>    glenn: I think we want to refer to them elsewhere in the spec
>>    so I'd like to keep those two
>>    ... unqualified names in the spec.
>>
>>    andreas: Ok, if they depend on these.
>>
>>    glenn: Others that we have not defined yet we can bind to a
>>    namespace and offer a template
>>    ... for the future to define new named items.
>>    ... That would simplify this work quite a bit.
>>    ... I'll add a note to the issue with that plan.
>>    ... I didn't abbreviate alt text so I had it as alternateText -
>>    what's the view?
>>
>>    pierre: Keep it as close as possible to IMSC 1.
>>
>>    nigel: yes, happy with altText.
>>
>>    glenn: ok

>>
>>    nigel: There seem to be some preconceptions in the wild about

>>    ... us to collate requirements.
>>
>>    pierre: I would happily collate requirements for IMSC 2.
>>

>>    glenn: Having them in one repository helps with issue tracking

>>
>>    pal: At the root will be a roadmap document for all the
>>    versions of IMSC.
>>    ... As soon as I get requirements for IMSC 2 I will start a

>>
>>    nigel: It's not from BBC but Ruby seems obvious.
>>
>>    pierre: Yes I hear that a lot, also HDR and tate chu yuko.
>>    Disparity is another one.
>>
>>    nigel: Also Wide Color Gamut?
>>
>>    pierre: Yes. Also background area between lines.
>>
>>    nigel: I would add the safe crop area stuff too.
>>
>>    andreas: As well as asking for requirements it would be good to
>>    ask for the use case and the
>>    ... problem that needs to be solved, in some detail.
>>
>>    pierre: So yes, HDR, all east asian layout.
>>
>>    rohit: Any mention of the condition attribute?
>>
>>    pierre: No not yet. I've heard people wanting to do responsive
>>    design, but I'm not sure we're there yet.
>>
>>    nigel: What about continuous animation?
>>
>>    pierre: Not yet.
>>
>>    nigel: Seems strange to me based on historical BBC research to
>>    have disparity but not continuous animation.
>>
>>    andreas: We should check what east asian organisations need to

>>
>>    dae: I'd like to know if there are any parts of TTML2 that folk
>>    think might need to change. Ruby for example?
>>
>>    pierre: I'd like to be really specific about all the Ruby
>>    features in a pedantic way.
>>
>>    glenn: All the TTML2 layout features were driven from existing
>>    content in lambda cap. it is
>>    ... easy to say what was not driven from lambda cap.
>>    ... It is easy to enumerate all the different Ruby features -
>>    look at TTML2 from
>>    ... §10.2.30 tts:ruby to §10.2.37 tts:rubyPreserve also
>>    §10.2.40 tts:textCombine
>>    ... §10.2.41 tts:textEmphasis and §10.2.43 tts:textOrientation.
>>    ... All those were directly driven by lambda cap. There are a
>>    couple that were not:
>>    ... rubyOverflow, rubyOverhand and rubyOverhangClass.
>>
>>    rohit: Also rubyReserve?
>>
>>    glenn: Yes. Overflow and overhang came out of the Japanese
>>    requirements as well as how
>>    ... to handle some cases that were not obvious.
>>
>>    pierre: Thanks!
>>
>>    nigel: Do we have feature designators for these yet?
>>
>>    glenn: There's an editorial note in E.1 for adding those.

>>
>> Agenda bash
>>
>>    group: plans ahead for tomorrow, updates agenda.
>>
>> TTML2 implementation work
>>
>>    glenn: Skynav's TTT set of tools could be viewed as 1-3
>>    implementations. It's a layered
>>    ... system - the validation layer at the bottom could be
>>    considered a transformation implementation.
>>    ... TTX above that has one module that translates into an ISD
>>    sequence. For example it can
>>    ... take IMSC1 or SMPTE-TT documents and turn them into TTML2
>>    ISDs. Then the next
>>    ... layer is TTPE that implements formatting semantics.
>>
>>    rohit: At Netflix we are building a TTML2 oriented pipeline.
>>    The idea is to take TTML2 source
>>    ... documents, convert them into a canonical form (probably
>>    TTML2 ISD) and then use them
>>    ... to generate output formats including WebVTT and rendered
>>    subtitles.
>>    ... Depending on the test vector set for TTML2 Netflix may be
>>    able to meet 40-50% of the
>>    ... tests for implementation.
>>
>>    glenn: I'd also like to add: in terms of presentation semantics
>>    implementation in TTPE for
>>    ... TTML2 features, the only new features it does not yet
>>    support are the use of referenced
>>    ... external fonts, audio and disparity. Everything else that's
>>    new in TTML2 it supports already
>>    ... from a presentation semantic. There might be some fine
>>    points to some of the features
>>    ... that we are still tweaking. We have test content for all of
>>    those features that we are using
>>    ... to generate presentable output in either images or SVG. So
>>    we are way ahead on implementation
>>    ... of presentation and we have test content for most all of
>>    it. Our schedule for finishing
>>    ... implementation work on TTML2 is scheduled to be finished
>>    early March 2017.
>>
>>    thierry: The horizontal review groups request review
>>    opportunity as soon as possible.
>>
>>    nigel: In fact I should trigger that process straight away.
>>    ... Wide review is even wider than that.
>>
>>    thierry: We should start to initiate that to make sure there is
>>    enough time.
>>
>>    glenn: I'd like to have a version ready for a new WD by early

>>
>>    thierry: Remember that we can limit the scope of review only to
>>    the additional features in
>>    ... TTML2 that are new relative to TTML1.
>>
>>    pierre: Remember also for wide review you have to factor in
>>    time to respond to comments.
