Re: Proposal to apply IMSC 1.0.1 editorial commits to IMSC 1.1

Hi Cyril,

I think we are definitely done with IMSC 1.0. We will hopefully be
done with TTML1 when 3ED publishes, and with IMSC 1.0.1 shortly since
it is about to enter PR.

The proposal below is merely intended to simplify the task at [1],
which ports quality-of-life improvements made to IMSC 1.0.1 during its
CR period to IMSC 1.1. These improvements came up with IMSC 1.0.1
since it is the specification that implementers actually use today.

[1] https://github.com/w3c/imsc/issues/292

Hope this makes sense.

Best,

-- Pierre
