Apologies, but I had provided the wrong URL for the 608/708 conversion specification. The latest version is at https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/text-tracks/raw-file/default/608toVTT/608toVTT.html and is a lot more complete for CEA708 captions. The url that I had provided below is unfortunately very old (even though the JS of the page pretends to be current). I will ask the TextTrack CG to make an official CG document out of it and publish to a better URL that does not require JS to render. Best Regards, Silvia.
