15:13:04 [Zakim]
agendum 1. "IANA Registration" taken up [from nigel]
15:13:43 [nigel]
nigel: we did get a response from IANA saying their relevant expert is looking at our request.
15:14:08 [nigel]
... plh do you know more?
15:14:37 [Zakim]
+Plh
15:15:27 [nigel]
plh: we don't have a timeline for when IANA will respond.
15:15:51 [nigel]
... I'll talk to our main IETF contact, Mark Nottingham to see if he can do something about it.
15:16:28 [nigel]
zakim, next agendum
15:16:28 [Zakim]
agendum 2. "Actions pending review" taken up [from nigel]
15:16:47 [nigel]
topic: Charter
15:17:43 [nigel]
plh: I have some non-substantive changes from W3C management on the charter, mostly clarifications e.g. in the scope we can change a should to a must without adding technical requirements to the spec.
15:18:22 [nigel]
... It's important to separate the two use cases of video description and captions, so they're in two tracks. It's out of TTML's scope to specify track switching.
15:19:11 [nigel]
nigel: video description might need new features.
15:19:38 [nigel]
... such as pan and fade timing metadata, pronunciation guidance etc.
15:20:02 [nigel]
... especially if the requirement is to support text to speech
15:20:37 [nigel]
... e.g. language models and other technical features.
15:21:05 [nigel]
... We need to have the requirements clear before we make video description a SHALL vs a SHOULD.
15:21:26 [nigel]
plh: will feed this back.
15:21:45 [nigel]
plh: the VTT milestone will need to take into account the charter approval delay
15:22:22 [nigel]
tmichel: also the CR review period is short
15:22:40 [nigel]
plh: can write a note to the TTWG to explain the edits
15:23:02 [nigel]
pal: what is the process now? do we have a timeline?
15:23:28 [nigel]
plh: Unfortunately I can't give a clear answer due to the document license issue.
15:24:09 [nigel]
... The AB discussed the document license this week. The AB did not oppose the idea of applying the HTML experimentation to WebVTT.
15:24:41 [jdsmith]
jdsmith has joined #tt
15:24:47 [nigel]
... so David Singer can do this. This means I have to spend time resolving potential issues raised by members.
15:25:25 [Zakim]
+[Microsoft]
15:25:28 [nigel]
... At the face to face meeting at TPAC the MS rep was unable to handle this kind of issue.
15:26:47 [nigel]
jdsmith: I believe there's been discussion at MS but I don't know the position so far.
15:27:41 [nigel]
plh: the other question is for W3 Management: there are considerations in terms of extending the experiment and opening up the possibility for other groups to take the same approach.
15:27:48 [nigel]
... I need to discuss this with the director.
15:28:07 [nigel]
... So this delays the charter submission until at least early January.
15:28:34 [nigel]
pal: Let me know if there's any way I can help resolve this because a number of other organisations are looking forward to IMSC and need a draft for referencing purposes.
15:30:01 [nigel]
nigel: is it possible to split the TTML issues from the WebVTT issue, or would it be considered poor form by reviewers?
15:30:09 [nigel]
plh: I can ask but it would be awkward.
15:30:57 [nigel]
pal: If this gets to January and this isn't resolved will there be a point where it is better to split the charter than proceed without a definite date?
15:31:00 [nigel]
plh: I believe so yes
15:32:24 [nigel]
action-240?
15:32:24 [trackbot]
action-240 -- David Singer to Consider the problem of the license change from cg to wg, with the ac and ab and staff -- due 2013-11-22 -- OPEN
15:32:24 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/actions/240
15:33:07 [nigel]
nigel: I need to formally note to this group the query on behalf of David Singer: would existing members of the WG object to the WebVTT rec being published with the CG license?
15:33:21 [nigel]
.. not necessarily to answer right now but formally tabled.
15:33:47 [nigel]
plh: David would like to give the WG the choice for WebVTT docs as to which license they're published under. He wants a CG-compatible license.
15:33:57 [nigel]
pal: Yes but this is a WG not a CG.
15:34:59 [nigel]
plh: That's true. The one used by the CG is not used by the HTML experiment (CC-By 3). I'd need to get legal advice on whether it's compatible with the CG license.
15:35:23 [nigel]
pal: I'm happy to review an updated proposal, but not to do a lot of work and then find that it changes.
15:35:48 [nigel]
plh: I don't think it's going to be acceptable to allow the WG to choose the license freely.
15:36:01 [nigel]
Current wording is at: http://www.w3.org/2013/12/timed-text-charter-david.html
15:36:13 [nigel]
nigel: this could change.
15:36:40 [nigel]
plh: If we adopt the HTML experiment then every WG member can object to the selected license.
15:36:46 [nigel]

issue-296 -- Remove xml:lang placement restrictions from IMSC -- open
15:37:34 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/296
15:37:59 [nigel]
pal: revision this week is intended to address these two issues. xml:lang constraint removed as discussed at TPAC.
15:38:33 [nigel]
... Character set work: I studied CLDR and the CLDR main set is a near-perfect subset of previous Annex A so I've refactored the document to be a superset of CLDR mainset.
15:38:55 [nigel]
... So all chars in CLDR main sets may be used by authors plus an additional set useful in captioning and subtitle applications.
15:39:16 [nigel]
pal: This edit is therefore the proposal.
15:40:03 [nigel]
nigel: The main objector (who relaxed his objection) was Glenn so we'll leave these as Pending Review for his input.
15:40:30 [nigel]
pal: the next work is to factor in the profiles work when it has been put into TTML2
15:41:30 [nigel]
action: pal to add an issue for tracking purposes to refactor IMSC to conform to the content profile specification of TTML2 dependent on TTML2 profile updates.

16:04:57 [pal]
I would like to understand why
16:05:09 [pal]
before closing it
16:05:17 [pal]
great improvement though
16:05:30 [pal]
specifically, farthest from 0 != round-up
16:05:34 [pal]
for negative values
16:05:44 [nigel]

nigel: pal was agreeing to my request to add a note to issue-259 stating this small variant to what Glenn implemented.
16:07:21 [nigel]

jdsmith: has talked to Sean and is still investigating. Need Glenn to discuss further.
16:10:29 [nigel]
plh: Glenn said that XML already has an escape mechanism so we don't need the CSS one too. The drawback is that you can't just transfer the text value into a CSS parser.
16:10:44 [nigel]
jdsmith: I've isolated a contact in MS and will follow up.
16:11:35 [nigel]
plh: Without any change an implementation has to de-escape the XML font family name, then use CSS escaping rules to transfer to a CSS parser. There's a burden both ways.
16:12:52 [nigel]
plh: there's a bit more code required on authoring tools for anyone generating TTML if we change the current mechanism.
16:14:17 [nigel]
nigel: Is this a request to restrict the fontFamily names to those that do not need additional escaping?
16:14:27 [nigel]
jdsmith: I just need to check the status on this.
