<note class="inTransmittal"> The following is a consensus comment on the SMIL Timesheets Last Call from PFWG. Al /chair, PFWG http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF </note> The Protocols & Formats group, having reviewed SMIL Timesheets, has the following comments for the SYMM WG: 1. The PFWG believes the timesheet model to be an extremely elegant engineering solution, as it allows for user control over timing (pause, stop, replay, rewind, fast forward, slow rate of play, accelerate rate of play, etc.) through a user timesheet. Thus a user can exercise control over the author-defined timing. The UA or an assistive plugin wizard can help the user to manage the timing settings. 2. SMIL Timesheets provides a mechanism for timing control. This mechanism allows for user adjustment of the timing. This adjustment is an important requirement for access to interaction by People With Disabilities. Therefore, the PFWG would like the HCG to foster the reuse of the mechanism in SMIL Timesheets, or -- at the very least -- ensure that the personalization capabilities are not lost as other formats implement timing control. 3. The PFWG also recommends and supports the adoption of the SMIL Timesheet model in XHTML2, XHTML 1.1, and XHTML Modularizations. In sum, the PFWG is intrigued and interested in the accessibility and user-control aspects of timesheets. Because of this, and the importance to the user-experience over control of timing cues and rates, the PFWG approves of the timesheets model and shall follow the development of SMIL Timesheets closely and with great interest, and anticipates cooperating with the editors and working group in order to ensure that the accessibility and user-control offered by the SMIL Timesheets model is realized.
