Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Audiobooks (#345)

@cynthia absolutely correct. The "core" document ([wpub](https://w3c.github.io/wpub/)) should be the basis of different publication types, which may include audiobooks, good-old-digital-books, scholarly publications, or indeed video playlists. The various publication types (for the time being we use the term 'profiles') are build on top of this core, possibly adding terms and possible requirements that may be profile specific. It is the intention of the group to push any manifest term that may be usable in general into this core.

The reason audiobook is the focus right now is purely pragmatic: there is a dynamically growing market with a very messy practical situation right now. Creators of audiobook players have expressed their frustration with the current status, and a standard is badly needed. Hence the choice of audiobooks as a first incarnation of a specific profile. The WG intends to work (albeit not yet on a rec-track) on other profiles, too.
