itts:forcedDisplay should apply to image element in image profile

No description provided.

itts:forcedDisplay already applies to div so I do not think this is necessary.

@skynavga we'd like to be able to resolve this before or during Thursday's call if possible.

[skynavga]

but div is not image

[palemieux]

Applying itts:forcedDisplay to the parent div of an image has the effect as applying it to image (for Image Profile document).

[skynavga]

ok, but an author should be able to apply it to the image itself alone, yes?

Not necessary in IMSC, and itts:forcedDisplay is an IMSC extension.

My overriding suggestion is to avoid making any change to the Image Profile unless absolutely necessary.

@skynavga It'd be helpful to know what's driving this request - for example are there users or practitioners who have been in touch with you to complain about this omission? If it's a point of principle alone, I don't disagree that in an ideal world the semantic makes more sense if we could apply forcedDisplay directly to the image, but I would also back @palemieux 's thinking that we have a way to achieve the same effect and that making changes to the Image Profile is something we should be super reluctant to do without a strong motive, i.e. I'd also do nothing.

No, there was no external input. This came up during work on TTV support for IMSC1.1 and review of upcoming IMSC1.2 semantics w.r.t. semantic symmetry and consistency.

The Timed Text Working Group just discussed itts:forcedDisplay should apply to image element in image profile imsc#493, and agreed to the following:

• RESOLUTION: We will not address this in IMSC 1.2 but leave on the backlog for potentially fixing in some future version.

<nigel> Topic: itts:forcedDisplay should apply to image element in image profile imsc#493
<nigel> github: https://github.com//issues/493
<nigel> Pierre: This is a direct parallel to #490. forced Display applies to div and not image.
<nigel> .. This is fine in Image profile because there's a 1:1 mapping between images and divs, so I suggest the same
<nigel> .. disposition, which is not to address in IMSC 1.2 but leave on the backlog.
<nigel> Nigel: I took the step for this one of checking in with Glenn on the driver for the issue and it seems
<nigel> .. to be one of semantic asymmetry and inconsistency. I take the view also that this inconsistency is not great
<nigel> .. but is not enough of a motivation in itself to make a change at this time.
<nigel> PROPOSAL: We will not address this in IMSC 1.2 but leave on the backlog for potentially fixing in some future version.
<nigel> Nigel: Any objections?
<nigel> group: [no objections]
<nigel> RESOLUTION: We will not address this in IMSC 1.2 but leave on the backlog for potentially fixing in some future version.
