And since there are some other questions about our implementation
plans, for those questions I've written:

-----

The reviewer's organization:
   - intends to review drafts as they are published and send comments.
   - intends to develop experimental implementations and send experience
reports.
   - intends to develop products based on this work.


Comments about the deliverables:
   We expect to review and implement changes to WebVTT at some point; such
work might not be particularly timely relative to when the spec changes are
made.



Comments about implementation schedule:
   We implement WebVTT, although recently our implementation has not been
keeping up with changes in the specification.
