[ttml-imsc1.1] SHALL retain the scope of [ttml-imsc1.0.1] while adding the minimal set of features necessary to support current practices for worldwide subtitling and captioning delivery.
A valid [ttml-imsc1.0.1] Text Profile document SHALL be a valid [ttml-imsc1.1] Text Profile document, and a valid [ttml-imsc1.0.1] Image Profile document SHALL be a valid [ttml-imsc1.1] Image Profile document.
A [ttml-imsc1.1] presentation processor SHALL present a valid [ttml-imsc1.0.1] document as it would have been presented by an [ttml-imsc1.0.1] presentation processor.
The #fillLineGap and #activeArea specified in [ttml-imsc1.0.1] SHALL be permitted in
[ttml-imsc1.1].
A valid [ttml-imsc1.1] Document SHALL be a valid [TTML2] document.
Any [ttml-imsc1.0.1] extension that (i) is not one of the following and (ii) has an equivalent feature in [TTML2] SHALL be deprecated in [ttml-imsc1.1] and the corresponding [TTML2] feature permitted:
#activeArea#fillLineGap#forcedDisplay#linePadding#multiRowAlignWhen an [ttml-imsc1.0.1] extension is deprecated and an equivalent [TTML2] feature is permitted, a document instance SHALL NOT use both the deprecated extension and the equivalent [TTML2] feature.
[ttml-imsc1.1] SHALL specify a mapping of each of its features to [HTML51] documents including support for [CSS-2017].
The fidelity of the mapping is not necessarily exact, but SHALL provide an acceptable result.
While [ttml-imsc1.1] defines both Image and Text Profiles, distinct Image and Text processors SHALL be defined such that an Image Processor is not required to accept Text Profile documents, and vice versa.
The profile resolution semantics and signaling specified in [TTML2] SHOULD be used whenever possible.
To support Japanese text as used in subtitles and captions, [ttml-imsc1.1] Text Profile SHALL support the following features.

| Ability to apply shear transformations on line areas, as a block, where a line area includes ruby base text, ruby annotations, and emphasis marks. |
#ruby, as specified in [TTML2]. |

To support HDR presentations, both [ttml-imsc1.1] Text and Image profiles SHALL support the #luminanceGain
feature specified in [TTML2].

#positionTo simplify positioning, [ttml-imsc1.1] Text Profile SHALL support the #position feature specified in
[TTML2].
#initialTo simplify style authoring, [ttml-imsc1.1] Text Profile SHALL support the #initial feature specified in
[TTML2].
#textShadowTo support the edge styles required by the FCC, [ttml-imsc1.1] Text Profile SHALL support the #textShadow
