Wording in 12.1.7 doesn't convey intended meaning
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- TTML 1.0
- Raised by:

- Description:
- The comment in https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ttml/raw-file/default/ttml10/spec/ttml-changes.html#change-history-per-to-rec-23 in section 1.1:
* In 12.1.7, clarify that agent attribute on ttm:actor must reference a "significant" ttm:agent
element, i.e., a ttm:agent appearing as a child of head or a child of a metadata child of head.
attaches a meaning to the word "significant" that is non-obvious within the draft text. I suggest rewording the sentence to:
The agent attribute of a ttm:actor element must reference a ttm:agent element that denotes the person, group, or organization acting the part of a character, and that appears as a descendant of head.

Related notes:
Perhaps you didn't see the text in 12.1.5:
"A ttm:agent metadata item is considered to be significant only when specified as a child of the head element or as a child of a metadata element child of the head element."
Thus "significant" is well defined in this case.
No change needed.
