Re: Review of updated Working Draft of IMSC 1

Dear Sir or Madam,

As a follow-up to my earlier email, the DVB TM-SUB group (which I chair) 
met this morning to collate comments on your latest working draft of IMSC1.

The IMSC1 specification has been reviewed by some of the DVB members. 
The common view
was that IMSC1 is a candidate technology for our next subtitle 
specification and it provides
a compatible update from EBU-TT-D which is specified in DVB's profile of 
MPEG DASH.

Therefore the TM-SUB group requests that W3C endeavour to maintain IMSC1 
as a super-set of EBU-TT-D.

The group noted the following restrictions that needed to be applied to 
EBU-TT-D to achieve IMSC1 compatibility: UTF8 encoding and a maximum of 
4 simultaneous regions.
