Bullet chatting interchange format was: W3C M&E IG conference call: 7th January 2020

Dear all,

Per our call on Tuesday and looking at the bullet chatting use cases
at [1], below are follow-up questions/observations.

With the exception of perhaps the "Interactive wall" use case, the use
cases seem to involve a web application (provided by the service
provider) running in a user agent (web browser).

Is that accurate?

For use cases that involve a web application running in a user agent,
it is not evident that an interchange format such as TTML or WebVTT is
necessary: the web application can simply interact directly with the
user agent using CSS, DOM, etc. to display the bullet chat -- without
the need for an intermediary interchange format.

What are the use cases that do not involve web application (provided
by the service provider) running in a user agent?

Documenting all use cases is critical to help select the right
technical solution for the interchange format and/or API. For example,
do some use cases involve players that do not have access to the web
platform?

Best,

-- Pierre
