Re: Digital Talking Book Standard is Now Being Balloted by NISO

Hi, 
Looked at you DTB specs and noticed that you also support images.
For the DTB types that are rendering images, adding support for 
fade in and out transitions would make the presentation more graceful.
Other wise you'll have the images just popping on the screen.

An example of SMIL 2 fading using HTML+SMIL on IE 6 about 510 KB, 23
seconds long, media
will preload before playing.

Good Luck,
