Re: AW: Objections to TPAC resolutions on IMSC1.1

Dear Andreas,

Thank you. Just to be clear, you would not be willing to move the definition of the ittp prefix and namespace into TTML2 from IMSC, so that the ittp attributes can continue to use the same fully qualified name in TTML as in IMSC?

Please could you explain why you would not agree to this?

Just to be clear, I am asking this in an exploratory mode. It seems to me that it is one possible route we could take to deal with the "circular reference" concern.

Kind regards,

Nigel

Dear Nigel, all,

Form this thread and from previous discussions it seems clear to me that we have no consensus on this. I do not agree to move namespaces as proposed.

Best regards,

Andreas

Betreff: Re: Objections to TPAC resolutions on IMSC1.1

Would you (or any other member) object to moving the definition of the ittp namespace into TTML2?

Subject: Re: Objections to TPAC resolutions on IMSC1.1

I support the position laid out in Cyril's email, namely, TTML2 gets (in existing TTML namespaces)

  *   ttp:activeArea
  *   ttp:displayAspectRatio
  *   tts:fillLineGap
  *   tts:forcedDisplay
  *   tts:linePadding
  *   tts:multi[Row?]Align
We ensure semantics are equivalent.

I write tts:multi[Row?]Align because I would prefer tts:multiAlign since the term "Row" is semantically inaccurate; however, I would be willing to concede this point if others insist.

Note that, as Cyril has outlined, there are syntactic modifications, so you should probably stop repeating the mantra "no modifications".

Do you remain opposed to this approach?
