Re: [DRAFT] Call for Wide Review of TTML2 WD for @@ Group

Thanks Mike,

I found where we summarised the differences between TTML1 and TTML2: we
did it for the TAG review ­ the text we posted at
https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/138#issuecomment-261735004
is:

[[
The TTML2 specification updates the TTML1 specification by adding
vocabulary and semantics to address more of its core requirements.

In summary it supports continuous animation of styling and positioning,
dereferencing and use of embedded or externally located resources such as
images, fonts, and audio, a more easily extensible metadata mechanism, the
ability to specify alternate initial values for styling, a more useful
profile mechanism, a conditional processing mechanism and a serialisation
format for resolved temporal subsections (intermediate synchronic
documents). The styling vocabulary has been increased to support advanced
text layout requirements such as Ruby, text emphasis, images, backgrounds,
shadows and in the next iteration we plan to support basic audio mixing by
specifying gain and pan.

At a functional level this means that TTML2 supports text layout
requirements for every script globally, is more fit for purpose in terms
of profiling and use by other downstream systems, supports audio (video)
description workflows and allows for more predictable rendering by means
of referencing specific fonts to use. Conditional processing, such as
semantic or transformation processing, based on parameters, media queries,
language selection etc are now also possible.

Several semantics defined non-normatively in TTML1 have been promoted to
being normative. All TTML1 documents are valid TTML2 documents; however,
TTML2 documents that specify @Version <https://github.com/version>2, may
not be valid TTML1 documents. Where there is feature overlap between
deprecated and new features, such as tts:origin and tts:position,
precedence rules are defined. Where appropriate references have been
updated, including normative references.
]]

I'll tweak this and add it into Thierry's draft text in a moment.

Nigel
