[mpeg-OTspec] Draft ballot comments for your review [1 Attachment]

[Levantovsky, Vladimir]

Thank you Peter, really appreciate your contributions!

All,

I’d like to inform you about some recent procedural changes that might have a short-term effect on our work. There’s been a change in the process on how ISO SC29 handles new work item ballots. In the past, when the new work item was proposed both the proposed subdivision ballot and new document approval ballot were issued at the same time. According to the new process, the proposed subdivision ballot is issued first, and the new document approval ballot will only be issued if the proposed subdivision is approved, which means that the new 4th edition Committee Draft OFF ballot can only be issued once the request for subdivision is approved via ballot that will close on July 13.

Considering the large number of editorial comments and corrections, I think it makes sense to publish a study of the current Committee Draft text and fix all the editorial issues before presenting it for approval ballot. The delay will only minimal – instead of issuing the CD ballot on July 14th (at the earliest) we would have a new version of the CD text be approved at the next WG11 meeting on July 21st and have a editorially revised text available. This would offer an opportunity to significantly declutter the future ballot comments, as it would allow us to concentrate on the essential technical changes and not be bogged down by a share number of editorial corrections, typo fixes, etc.


Thanks again for all your hard work!
Vladimir

Vlad:

I’ve got some more changes to recommend — see the attached file. I think the only differences from the previous zip I sent was a typo fixed in the OT Variations Overview, and then significant changes for the ‘STAT’ table — mostly editorial, but also addition of a format 4 axis value table.

Great, thank you Peter, really appreciate your efforts and contributions to the spec!
I will go through the changes and add them as proposed ballot comments that we will have a chance to review later.

Thanks once again and best regards,
Vladimir

Vlad (et al):

I have additional changes that I would recommend for the CD ballot comments. I haven’t had time to prepare them as line-item ballot comments. The attached zip file shows changes as I would incorporate them into corresponding parts of the OpenType spec — use the included CSS file to see the changes highlighted. (Within the html markup, the changes are indicated using a class="highlight" property on elements.)

I expect I’ll have some other recommended changes for the CD in the next month or so.

Dear all,

Thank you very much for submitting your comments to the AHG for discussion, and special thanks to Martin Hosken, Pater Constable, John Hudson and Sairus Patel for discussing and finalizing the proposed corrected text.

Please see attached a first draft of the ballot comments where I compiled the proposed changes as they should be applied to the 4th edition Committee Draft text. Your review and further comments are very much appreciated!

Thank you,
Vladimir
