yes

the former, since, by default, all TTML elements are parallel time
containers; the more interesting question is whether it is valid to specify
the use of a sequential time container when timeBase is smpte; at present,
i don't think we have any language that covers this case

if we do allow sequential time containment for smpte time base, then it
would be possible to interpret "00:00:28:00" as a relative time (as opposed
to absolute marker) only in the case that markerMode is continuous, since
it is feasible to convert relative smpte time coordinate expressions to
media time deltas (i.e., offset time) in continuous mode (even in the case
of drop frame)
