The notion of a community group to bring Web TT into the W3C. Mechanics are unclear, some concerns about the group being more than a rubberstamp.

JF: Imagine a travelogue programme, embedded into the stream is some meta data, the TV is connected to a network so the meta data is transmitted throughout.
15:27:29 [LeonieWatson]
JF: Perhaps the person watching the programme had previously visited the city featured in the traveloue. It could be possible for them to be viewing photos of their visit on their iPad, based on the broadcast meta data.
15:27:51 [LeonieWatson]
JF: It could therefore be possible to stream captions in a similar way.
15:28:13 [LeonieWatson]
JF: Wanted to convey accessibility could be exciting, not a constraint.

For captioning, the FCC Video Programming Access Advisory Committee (VPAAC) has provided a report to the FCC with recommendations regarding captioning. These recommendations were not to lock in a single captioning format for the next decade or so, but rather to specify that the captioning for

JF: There was talk about things like graphic based fonts. Care needs to be taken over these things, because text descriptions would still be needed. A flag at this stage, not a big deal.

15:45:39 [richardschwerdtfe]
JF: we need to detail this
15:46:31 [LeonieWatson]
RS: The only time this is likely to be used is with a layout table.
15:46:56 [LeonieWatson]
