>                    nigel: TO be controversial/challenging, WebVTT has

>                    david: If we don't complete it in this Charter period

>                    March 2018] then we should not

>                    PROPOSAL: If we do not make progress on moving WebVTT to

>                    thierry: That's a final step - I think we should be

> 
>                    david: I agree.
> 
>                    glenn: We could publish it as a WG Note, to make it

> 
>                    nigel: This is a lot easier.

> 
>                    nigel: In fact publishing a Note is a process

>                    thierry: We would do that if we removed it from the

> 
>                    glenn: It would be helpful to have a document that

> 
>                    thierry: I'm happy to help with the wide review;

>                    thierry: There's also a lack of specification text on

>                 Tagging
> 
>                    david: DASH and the MP4 file format have a way to tag
>         the kind
>                    of role of a track, using a URI
>                    ... to identify the vocabulary used, and then a term
>         from that
>                    vocabulary. I need a URI to
>                    ... refer to the @kind vocabulary in the HTML5
>         specification,
>                    and there isn't one.
> 
>                    pierre: There is one but it is not complete,
>         specified in DASH.
> 
>                    david: It is not specified in the HTML document itself.
> 
>                    pierre: That's correct. As long as we can reference
>         the one in
>                    DASH that can be used.
> 
>                    david: Agreed there is a DASH vocabulary.
> 
>                    pierre: So the request to add one to HTML is not
>         required for
>                    MPEG CMAF because the DASH one can be used.
> 
>                    david: I got agreement from WHATWG and the Web
>         Platform WG for
>                    about:html-kind as the URI
>                    ... that refers to the @kind vocabulary in the HTML
>                    specification.
>                    ... And I have registered that with IANA.
>                    ... I'm waiting for that URI to appear in a revision

> 
>                    nigel: It's good to have that but I would note that
>         in my view
>                    the kind vocabulary is terrible.
> 
>                    glenn: There are some semantics associated, such as

>                    of display of metadata tracks by the UA.
> 
>                    david: I would agree that the HTML vocabulary is both
>         under-
>                    and over-specified simultaneously! (in different ways)
> 
>                    nigel: In my view it is insufficiently rich to

> 
>                    pierre: It would be great if as making the HTML
>         vocabulary more
>                    official we could also fix it.
> 
>                    david: I support that.
>                    ... CMAF does prefer DASH at the moment - it says to
>         use the
>                    DASH term if it supports what you want to do.
> 
>                    nigel: I also note that we have not addressed how to
>         extract
>                    something equivalent to kind
>                    ... within a timed text document so that it can be
>         extracted
>                    and used to embed into a host HTML page.
>                    ... We did address language recently, but not kind.
> 
>                    david: Some people want to manage external manifest

>                    I'm in favour of self describing documents.
>                    ... I'm also aware of ongoing discussions about tags

>                    to read captions (mandated by FCC) and karaoke.
> 
>                    pierre: There is a very specific definition of those

> 
>                    glenn: In TTML2 we have a named metadata item for
