So... you do not agree with Lloyd?

My point of view, reading what Lloyd cites is:


<seq repeat="3" begin="3s">
 <img src="foo1" dur="4s" region="reg1" />
 <img src="foo2" dur="4s" region="reg2" />
</seq>

is therefore equivalent to:

<seq begin="3s">
 <img src="foo1" dur="4s" region="reg1" />
 <img src="foo2" dur="4s" region="reg2" />
</seq>
<seq begin="3s">
 <img src="foo1" dur="4s" region="reg1" />
 <img src="foo2" dur="4s" region="reg2" />
</seq>
<seq begin="3s">
 <img src="foo1" dur="4s" region="reg1" />
 <img src="foo2" dur="4s" region="reg2" />
</seq>

So, TIMELINE 1 IS CORRECT. Does everybody agrees? Lloyd?

                 1    1    2    2    3
        ....5....0....5....0....5....0
seq        [------]   [------]   [------]
foo1       ****       ****       ****
foo2           ****       ****       ****
