| summary | The text discusses the development process of WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) as a W3C Recommendation, addressing its past rivalry with TTML (Timed Text Markup Language). The author outlines the proposed path for WebVTT:
1. WebVTT is needed to become a W3C Recommendation due to its importance in captioning and subtitling technologies. 2. This transition involves integrating the FSA (Format Specification Amendment) into the Timed Text Working Group (TT-WG) as a First Public Working Draft, followed by a Last Call, which freezes the feature set. 3. This is feasible because WebVTT has already undergone extensive community review. 4. Simultaneously, the TT-CG can continue refining the next version of WebVTT with new features, similar to how HTML5 and HTML5.1 specifications were developed.
The ultimate goal is for WebVTT to be part of the TT-WG's deliverables, with the TT-WG's charter approved as a milestone featuring WebVTT. |
