ISSUE-210: The values for alpha in rgba() don't correspond to CSS3 Color definitions

rgba() alpha value space

The values for alpha in rgba() don't correspond to CSS3 Color definitions

State:
OPEN
Product:
TTML2
Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:
As presently defined, we allow the alpha value in an rgba() tuple to take a value from 0 to 255, rather than 0.0 to 1.0 (or 0% to 100%) as defined in CSS3 Color. On the other hand, we do use the CSS3 Color alpha values of 0.0 to 1.0 for opacity. This creates a bit of an anomaly if we should want to define tts:color in terms of CSS3 Color's definition of 'color'.

I'm presently marking this for TTML1.0, if we want to address in TTML10SE. Otherwise, we should push out to TTML.next.

Address this in the HTML/CSS mapping section.

Take no action to syntax or semantics of alpha. Simply deal with this in the process of mapping to XSL-FO or HTML/CSS, etc.

[nigel]: [meeting 2015-02-05] Resolution is to add an editorial note to readers highlighting the difference in scale of alpha value.
