Re: [media-and-entertainment] Compositable Video Content (#103)

Hi @AdamSobieski 

Please be aware there is another approach, so that video composition could be achieved without extensive changes to the media player. Similarly - the  [reflowability](https://github.com/w3c/media-and-entertainment/issues/102) could be accomplished without changes to the distribution protocol.

The [timing object](https://webtiming.github.io/timingobject/) proposal was also motivated by very similar use cases. The proposal is a bit old now, but key idea is remains relevant:

- avoid changes to distribution protocols (like dash)
- avoid turning the media player into a studio
- avoid limiting client-side composition to video content - for instance also support layers of timed html-based graphics
- avoid limiting client-side composition to single content source or single distribution technology 

The key change required by the timing object proposal would be that media players were able to sync to a timing object. The Vimeo player now supports this, I think. When sync is supported, the remaining challenges are less daunting.
