Yes, agreed.
Wide review had been shown and feedback been received. I think it's with
the WG to make the next move.
Best Regards,
Silvia.

>>
>> david: I support that.

>>
>> david: Some people want to manage external manifest files, but

>>
>> glenn: That's actually mapped to the image element.
>>
>> pierre: yes.
>>
>> glenn: However we did define background image also in TTML2 and

>> ... I believe fully define the semantics for background images.
>> ... In the case of a foreground image these don't come up

>> foreground images.
>> ... For foreground image size you would use bpd and ipd rather

>> ... 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

>> ... 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

>> 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

>> 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.
>>

>>
>> 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.

>> 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
