[19]Meeting Close * [20]Summary of Action Items * [21]Summary of Resolutions __________________________________________________________ <scribe> scribe: nigel This meeting Nigel: I think we need to talk about TTML2 CR2 publication, dates etc. as well as one or two ... agenda-marked items on the repo. ... We also have some IMSC 1.1 agenda topics Pierre: Start with requirements issues. Nigel: Yes. ... AOB or particular other points to raise? I have TPAC to mention group: [no other business] TPAC 2018 Nigel: You'll have in your inboxes a message about registration which has just been opened today. ... My request to resolve the clash between Media and Entertainment IG and TTWG seems to ... have had no action taken and I've received no response, and the clash remains on the ... published schedule for the Monday. Pierre: FYI My attendance later in the week has become impossible now so I have a strong ... preference for being done by Wednesday. Nigel: I also talked to one of the Chairs of the M&E IG who told me that their meeting on ... the Monday is the traditional day but there's no other reason for it. Pierre: We should focus on specific topics to cover in a joint meeting since moving the ... meetings might not happen now. Nigel: +1 <inserted> .. let's take that offline for now. TTML2 CR2 publication Nigel: I sent the CfC out yesterday - a little later than agreed last week, but our discussion ... last week did not cover the additional pull requests that came along after the meeting, ... which took a bit of extra processing. ... The next question is, given the CfC end date, when can we make the transition request ... and publish CR2. Philippe: If you want to publish on the 28th the trick is to send the transition request on ... the 21st, with a note that the decision will be finalised on [date]. I used that trick before. Glenn: Why do we need a transition request if we're already in CR? Philippe: Because you're making substantive changes and the Director has to approve it. ... Only CR updates with substantive changes need a transition request. ... Based on that I'd like to target the 28th June for publishing. Is that a feasible date? ... If you send a transition request on 21st then yes it is. Glenn: Then that puts PR on August 9. ... And the final Rec is sometime in September. Philippe: Yes, the 13th to be exact. Nigel: Who can take the action to draft the Transition Request? Thierry: I can do that. Nigel: Thank you ... If we can have a draft for me to look at say on Monday that would be great. Thierry: Okay Nigel: Thanks for your flexibility there Philippe. <plh> [22]https://www.w3.org/2018/06/ttml2-cr-diff.html [22] https://www.w3.org/2018/06/ttml2-cr-diff.html Glenn: I just sent out a link to a diff listing - thank you Philippe for sorting that manually (the diff service is not working) ... It is actually between the branch where I'm tweaking the CfC that has a pending pull request, ... with some minor editorial stuff there like the date on the document and a couple of other ... little things. It's useful for doing a comparison. Nigel: Thank you. I also want to make sure we have agreement on the earliest CR exit date. Glenn: I made it August 9 for entering PR. ... I'm not sure what the July date is - on your tool it listed August 9 as PR entry. Philippe: It also says deadline for comment July 26th. <plh> [23]https://w3c.github.io/spec-releases/milestones/?cr=2018-06- 28&noFPWD=true [23] https://w3c.github.io/spec-releases/milestones/?cr=2018-06-28&noFPWD=true Nigel: We need to put that deadline for comments in the SOTD. Philippe: The deadline needs to be before you request transition otherwise it doesn't make ... sense, and you need to request transition a week before you publish. Glenn: We didn't write deadline for comments in the SOTD Nigel: We need to. Philippe: Yes you need to make it clear otherwise if you receive a comment a day after ... then you're in trouble. Glenn: Okay I'll add that deadline if that's ok PROPOSAL: Set TTML2 CR2 deadline for comments at July 26th 2018 Nigel: Any objections? RESOLUTION: Set TTML2 CR2 deadline for comments at July 26th 2018 Nigel: I also asked if anyone has any features to add to the at risk list, and since I've had ... no responses, I assume there will not be any more at risk features. ... Note that we have already added lineShear and shear Glenn: I don't anticipate any problem with those because we've already implemented them ... in TTPE in private, for presentation and validation and I think that maybe Pierre has done ... something in that regard, maybe for IMSC. I anticipate something from Netflix as well. ... I don't think either will be thrown out. Nigel: Ok, sounds good. ... I think it's worth mentioning that the main change in your as-yet-unmerged pull request ... is to add details of the changes since CR1. Glenn: Yes, I made some progress with that last night so that should be completed by ... next week's meeting. Nigel: Anything else for transition to CR2 that I may not have thought of? Philippe: No, I don't think so for a CR2 transition. It should be a pretty simple transition. ... You don't have to demonstrate that you addressed all of the issues at this point. Nigel: Thank you that's helpful. Glenn: We have deferred some editorial changes to PR. Philippe: Yes, you can do that. Glenn: As I've mentioned to Nigel I will be strongly opposed to any substantive change. ... Anything that looks like it is substantive has to be put into a Note and made informative ... unless it is completely broken. I don't know of anything that is hopelessly broken that ... we have to get into the text as normative text at this point. Of course I can't anticipate ... what comments will come out of CR2. Nigel: That's a good segue into the agenda item. Glenn: There's just one. Applicability of tts:rubyPosition when tts:ruby="text". ttml2#832 github: [24]https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/832 [24] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/832 Nigel: This is a request for a substantive change concerning rubyPosition. Glenn: It is minimally substantive but I think we can call it that. It's a change in normative ... text that could impact conformance so it satisfies the criteria. Nigel: Pierre raised the issue, Glenn opened a pull request, #833 Pierre: It looks right to me. It makes it invalid to specify position on a ruby text that is ... within an explicit textContainer? Glenn: Exactly, which covers the previous case that was documented. Pierre: I will approve. Cyril: I haven't looked at it yet. ... I will do that. Nigel: Glenn please hold off merging until Cyril has had a look a it? Glenn: Sure I'll do that. Nigel: I will treat this as review feedback during the CfC period so I don't intend to extend ... the CfC deadline based on this. SUMMARY: PR Open, to merge early as a CfC feedback comment when @cconcolato's review is complete github-bot, end topic Cyril: I've just approved it. Glenn: Great, I'll go ahead and merge it. TTML2 open issues for wide review <glenn> [25]https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/milestone/3 [25] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/milestone/3 Nigel: I believe all those are with me for action. Glenn: What's holding those up? Nigel: Me being snowed under with other things, is the answer. ... I need to send a disposition to SMPTE and another to Glenn Goldtein. ... For issue #277 that's one for us to discuss. Incorporate CSS advances into TTML vertical text handling ttml2#277 github: [26]https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/277 [26] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/277 Nigel: The status of this is that we could mark sideways as at risk but do not have a ... feature designator for it. ... Any views? Cyril: I vaguely remember we decided not to mark as at risk because it was implemented. Nigel: OK I didn't recall that. Cyril: Maybe Glenn mentioned it was implemented. Glenn: Yes, we have all the current values implemented. Cyril: Is there a risk to marking it as risk? Glenn: No Nigel: Two downsides: ... 1. Suggests non-implementation ... 2. Editorial work to add the feature designator Cyril: I don't think the argument for not inviting implementation is a practical problem ... given the current implementation status. Glenn: I think it's unnecessary work and we should not mark sideways as at risk. ... It's implemented. Nigel: You have one implementation for it? Glenn: I have a presentation implementation and another member has a validation implementation ... so it satisfies the criteria. Nigel: Ok then we don't need to mark it as at risk. Glenn: As a general comment I'm worried about proliferation of feature designators. We ... went from around 114 to about 250, so we've doubled the designators but we haven't ... doubled the number of features. Compared to TTML1. Nigel: Can we resolve to close this with no further change? Glenn: No objection Nigel: Anyone else? RESOLUTION: Close without marking sideways as at risk github-bot, end topic TTML2 CR2 wrap-up Nigel: I think that's all for TTML2, barring the open editorial branch to complete the changes ... etc. Glenn: I'll leave that open for a while to deal with other editorial points. ... [need to drop off now] Nigel: Thank you IMSC v1.1 Requirements Nigel: Pierre, I see we have a few issues open. Consider adding support for "before" and "after" annotation position imsc-vnext-reqs#23 github: [27]https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/23 [27] https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/23 Pierre: Note that #25 may need to change depending on what we decide for #23 here. ... Today IMSC 1.1 has requirement only for rubyPosition="outside". ... After some digging, I think that's optimised for 2 line presentations. ... My understanding is sometimes there are 3 lines, depending on the authorial style. ... If they are anything other than 2 lines the author will need more control than outside, ... and will need to position rubys before or after, so my suggestion is simply to support ... before and after as well as outside for rubyPosition. ... From an implementation perspective there's more syntax but in terms of layout it's ... kind of a no-op because before and after need to be supported for outside anyway. ... This reflects feedback I have received. Cyril: I have no objection. We were proponents for outside but we don't have a problem ... with people using before and after if they want to. It's not exactly a no-op for implementation ... but the cost is minimal. Pierre: The risk is too great to not include. Nigel: I think that's right, and also would note that whatever syntax we accept for ... rubyPosition we also permit in rubyReserve. Pierre: Yes. RESOLUTION: Support `"before"` and `"after"` values for `tts:rubyPosition`. github-bot, end topic Update tts:rubyReserve values imsc-vnext-reqs#25 github: [28]https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/25 [28] https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/25 Nigel: Now we resolved in #23 to support `before` and `after` we need to do that here. Pierre: Yes, that removes the restrictions. PROPOSAL: Support `#rubyReserve` without additional constraints Nigel: Any objections? RESOLUTION: Support `#rubyReserve` without additional constraints github-bot, end topic Consider adding support for tts:rubyAlign="spaceAround" imsc-vnext-reqs#30 github: [29]https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/30 [29] https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/30 Pierre: I just opened this after working on it for a couple of days. ... The illustration is the best thing to look at. ... Today the only thing that's allowed is center, which is the bottom illustration. ... The feedback I received is that it doesn't work when the ruby base is very long, because ... bunching up the ruby text makes it less easy to read. ... The space around example (top example) is preferred. Cyril: No objection, but the examples .. are they from a real example? Pierre: I'm told this happens in real subtitles. Cyril: Ok, I have no objection. Pierre: I'd like more information before finalising my own opinion. Cyril, I'll try to get as ... many real examples as possible. Cyril: I'll check with Netflix if we have any opinions and examples too. Pierre: Thank you. Also there's a subtle difference between spaceAround and spaceBetween. ... Right now my research says adding spaceAround would address most of the concerns. ... What I hear this morning is there are no immediate concerns to allowing it. Cyril: To be on the safe side we should maybe implement all values. ... Once you've implemented spaceAround and spaceBetween then adding withBase is not ... that difficult. Pierre: Yes, I don't know what CSS supports other than spaceAround, which is the initial value, ... so seems pretty safe. Cyril: Do you prefer restricting IMSC 1.1 to a limited set of values and then increasing them ... later if there is CSS support. Pierre: I'd rather go down that path, it avoids misuse. It's not an easy question. ... Do please ask the question Cyril about supporting all of them. If CSS supports all of them ... then that makes it a lot easier in my mind. SUMMARY: Research continuing, consider adding all values if CSS supports them. tts:fontShear should be tts:shear imsc-vnext-reqs#24 github: [30]https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/24 [30] https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/24 Cyril: I think it should be lineShear. I know it is not supported in CSS, because it requires ... breaking lines into separate paragraphs, but lineShear is what people expect in terms of ... rendering, in all the examples. Pierre: The author can do that by creating two `p`s. Cyril: The implementation can do it by breaking into `p`s. Pierre: It's not simple, and it means if you ever want block shear then you can't - you can't ... have the flexibility to shear each `p`. ... I did ask about line breaks in Japanese subtitles and my understanding is it is not acceptable ... to let line wrap wrap lines. Cyril: That's not the case, we use that all the time. Pierre: The feedback I received is that authors want to control line breaks and you cannot ... just break anywhere in Japanese. Cyril: My concern is that using multiple `p`s can mess up the timing. It makes the document ... much simpler if you have one `p` per region or per event. Nigel: How are we going to figure this out? Cyril: I think we need to gather more feedback. ... Would it be an option so support both shear and lineShear? Pierre: Supporting lineShear is going to be extremely difficult. Nigel: Because we're missing something in CSS? Pierre: Yes it only allows shearing of blocks. Nigel: Yes, I found that in my research too. Pierre: The overall challenge is turning a bunch of lines into a bunch of `p`s requires ... restructuring the entire span tree. With rubys on top of that it's going to be hard to ... implement and also I suspect brittle. I don't want us to underestimate the complexity ... of doing this correctly. Nigel: I have a suggestion that we raise this requirement with the CSS WG. ... I think the requirement is to be able to apply shear to line areas. Pierre: Yes, like many of our requests, CSS does not deal with lines, but we need to. Nigel: Do we ever need to shear spans within a line? Pierre: I'm not aware of that requirement Cyril: Me neither - normally it is the entire line. Pierre: I'm fairly certain that tts:fontShear is not needed for subtitles and captions. ... Ideally both lineShear and shear would be supported, but lineShear is challenging to implement. ... Is IMSC 1.1 broken if lineShear is not supported? Nigel: My proposal is to support shear for now, raise an issue with CSS WG for lineshear ... with the intent of adding support for it to a future version of IMSC 1.1. Pierre: I like that approach for now. ... Also Glenn filed another issue recently with CSS recently too, which we should track. Nigel: I have a list in the agenda actually. Cyril: One concern about shear is what if the user changes the font size and suddenly you ... have line wrapping, then the alignment is not desired. Pierre: If you shear as the entire `p` is the result completely objectionable? ... For 2 lines there's a very subtle difference, but with 4 lines you see a pretty big difference. ... Not being Japanese, I don't know if the result is unacceptable or just a bit strange or ... annoying. Cyril: I'll come back to you on this one. Pierre: Thank you, I will continue to dig on this too. <scribe> ACTION: Pierre to raise an issue with CSS WG requesting support for lineShear [recorded in [31]https://www.w3.org/2018/06/14-tt-irc] [31] https://www.w3.org/2018/06/14-tt-irc <trackbot> Created ACTION-512 - Raise an issue with css wg requesting support for lineshear [on Pierre-Anthony Lemieux - due 2018-06-21]. Pierre: I think it is clear that we will replace fontShear with shear, and deal with lineShear ... separately? Cyril: I'd rather make one pull request for the shear part. Pierre: We know fontShear is bad so we need to address that now. Cyril: Just add an editor's note to the pull request that we're considering adding lineShear Pierre: Sounds like a good solution. SUMMARY: @palemieux to raise an issue with CSS WG, and to add an ed note to the pull request to note ongoing query re lineShear. PROPOSAL: Drop fontShear support and add shear support, with continuing consideration for lineShear Cyril: We would prefer support for lineShear but not shear. We don't think we are going to ... use shear at all. Nigel: OK I won't record a resolution for that. SUMMARY: Continue to investigate options for using shear and lineShear Cyril: I would suggest adding both shear and lineShear and add a note to lineShear to say ... we are investigating implementation difficulties given CSS, and add a note to shear ... saying we are investigating line alignment issues. Then we can add both and remove one ... or the other [or neither] later. Pierre: That's fine with me SUMMARY: Temporarily add shear and lineShear with editorial notes against both, pending a later resolution. Exclude support for blur radius in tts:textShadow imsc-vnext-reqs#27 github: [32]https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/27 [32] https://github.com/w3c/imsc-vnext-reqs/issues/27 Nigel: Looking at this, it seems like there's good CSS support already for blur and some of ... the examples of using a large diffuse shadow really need blur to look good. Pierre: The motivation here is that 708 does not support blur. Nigel: Are you asserting that the requirement for subtitles is only derived from 708? Pierre: Yes. For traditional subtitles text outline is used not text shadow. Nigel: It would help if I could dig out an example here but I am pretty sure I have seen ... examples that do use shadow. Requesting more time! Pierre: Absolutely, that would help us make the right decision. Nigel: In the meantime I assume that the implementation cost is very low because you ... can just pass the blur value to CSS. Pierre: I'm not worried about CSS implementation here but I am worried about other ... implementation techniques, given why we support textShadow, i.e. 708. Nigel: We're not overall constrained by 708 for implementability. Pierre: Right. If you could find examples that would be really good evidence. Nigel: Okay I'll have a look. SUMMARY: Continue to look for supporting use cases github-bot, end topic Miscellaneous editorial fixes imsc#388 github: [33]https://github.com/w3c/imsc/pull/388 [33] https://github.com/w3c/imsc/pull/388 Nigel: Given that Stefan and I have given feedback, what do we need to discuss in the meeting? Pierre: I'd like to walk through your feedback Nigel so we can close this and move on. ... It's important to merge this pull request to allow other work to proceed. ... You've requested that features link back to constraints. Nigel: Yes, based on whether there are conformance keywords, rather than just limiting ... to SHALLs and SHALL NOTs. Pierre: Okay, I can deal with that. ... There a bunch of things that you and Stefan noted that are related to changes in TTML2 ... but this pull request is not intended to address those. I want to deal with the TTML2 ... feature refactoring separately, and not address [34]https://github.com/w3c/imsc/pull/388#discussion_r195347251 ... here. [34] https://github.com/w3c/imsc/pull/388#discussion_r195347251 Nigel: Okay, have we got an issue open for it? Pierre: We can open an omnibus issue - it's next on my list. Nigel: Sure, I don't mind taking that approach to allow this to continue. Pierre: [colour contrast question] Nigel: If the answer is "no" you haven't checked then fine, put that on and raise an issue ... to deal with it, then we can proceed. Pierre: Okay, I can do that. Nigel: [TTML2 prohibition comment] I think you mean introduced rather than specified? Pierre: No, really everything in TTML2. I think we should omit prohibited things. It's been ... a source of errors when we tried to track features in TTML2 so it makes it easier to ... maintain if we just include features with some support, and easier to read. <inserted> Nigel: [TTML2 features comment] Nigel: I think we need to include all dependent features that are potential parts or related ... to bigger "group" features even if they are in fact prohibited, just for clarity. The ... `#extent-auto-version-2` comment above is a good example. Pierre: That makes sense, that will be done. Nigel: We can move that into the TTML2 feature change mop-up issue? Pierre: Yes, absolutely. ... I wanted to make sure that we didn't think that excluding prohibited features is a ... bad idea. That is the major substantial change in this pull request. Nigel: Just testing the idea. Is it clear and unambiguous? Yes. ... Is it helpful for implementers? Not sure. Pierre: That's not clear to me either. ... For authors it's much easier. Cyril: It's easier from an editor's point of view. ... I think I'm fine with that. Nigel: One more point - the deprecation warning on ittp:progressivelyDecodable. Pierre: I'll add that. ... If I make those changes we discussed will you be able to approve them early tomorrow your time Nigel? Nigel: Yes, I don't see why not. SUMMARY: Pierre to make changes as discussed. github-bot, end topic IMSC 1.1 schedule Pierre: The moratorium is not at a perfect time, so it'll be hard to do a CR2 by June 28. Nigel: We should stagger after TTML2 so that we aren't hit in IMSC 1.1 by late substantive ... changes to TTML2. Pierre: Given the moratorium we should plan for CR2 to be ready on July 17 when publications ... resume. Nigel: To request the transition then? Pierre: No we should have on the Directors desk on July 17 the transition request. Nigel: Then publication will be July 24 Pierre: Another moratorium begins July 25 Nigel: So we want publication in that window. Pierre: Yes Nigel: Thierry, what would you recommend to expedite this? Thierry: I think we should get it to the Director ahead of the "geek week" moratorium, ... during which there is poor availability for the team. ... We need both the transition request accepted and then the publication in that window. Nigel: Can we do a CfC on June 21 and make the transition request on July 5 to ensure ... we are good to publish in that window? Is that feasible? Pierre: If the CfC starts on June 28 then it ends July 12 and the transition request could ... be made on July 16. Nigel: [concern about staff availability to draft transition request] Thierry: I can help draft it ahead of geek week, and we can use the trick that Philippe ... mentioned for TTML2 earlier. ... Why don't I draft it for the 5th, then Nigel you and I can talk through any issues on the 6th, ... then it can be submitted and be ready for the Director on the 16th, and be published ... by the 26th (the last permitted date before the summer moratorium). Nigel: Okay, sounds like it would work. Pierre: Ok Thierry: So we should have a response on the 23rd and I can request publication on the 26th. Pierre: Sounds like a good plan. Thierry: Can you provide an ED close to the CR by the 5th? Pierre: Yes, based on this plan the goal is to get CR2 ready by June 28 Nigel: +1 Pierre: Editorially that can work, I think we have those issues regarding rubyAlign and ... shear and I think that we will try to make progress quickly. In the worst case we can ... add features and mark them as at risk. So it is possible. Nigel: Putting shear and lineShear at risk would be an excellent way to give us time to ... deal with those issues. Pierre: Yes, and for rubyAlign too, we could put some values at risk. ... Okay, that gives me good confidence. Meeting Close Nigel: We've completed our agenda, thank you. Pierre: Thanks for the great input on the issues. Nigel: Great, let's adjourn! See you next week.
