(discussion of extended language range)
14:22:05 [aphillip]
probably should use the term "language priority list"
14:23:38 [aphillip]
probably should be a prioritized list
14:23:57 [r12a]
"here both language and accent MUST be an Extended Language Range" is ok
14:24:01 [aphillip]
items should match *one* of the items in the priority list
14:24:13 [r12a]
"A voice satisfies the languages feature if, for each language/accent pair in the list,"
14:24:13 [David]
zakim, mute david
14:24:13 [Zakim]
David should now be muted
14:24:33 [r12a]
see notes above about matching at least one item and should be priority list, probably
14:24:57 [David]
yes
14:26:26 [r12a]
"whose description as a language tag" is misleading - they probably mean to say "a voice can read/speak a language whose language tag matches"
14:27:48 [David]
zakim, unmute david
14:27:48 [Zakim]
David should no longer be muted
14:27:55 [r12a]
addison: not sure why extension subtags are ignored (althought there presently aren't any)
14:29:07 [r12a]
david: there may be a need for region accents rather than the language
14:32:19 [r12a]
addison: what they are doing is somewhat backwards, its not clear whether they mean that extension subtags and scripts can be ignored in voice or language range
14:32:36 [r12a]
... they should say that script has no meaning in auditory stuff like this
14:33:18 [aphillip]
probably the text about script and extension subtags is unnecessary
14:33:40 [aphillip]
as long as the range in the attribute has no script subtag, any voices that have scripts will match it
14:33:57 [aphillip]
if one is specified, only voices that have that script subtag will match
14:34:11 [aphillip]
even though script has no meaning in an auditory context
14:35:46 [aphillip]
what they propose requires that the tags/ranges be processed
14:35:58 [aphillip]
matching is written such that this isn't necessary
14:36:09 [aphillip]
better to recommend that they just not be used
14:36:29 [aphillip]
matching is written such that parsing the language tags is not necessary
14:37:29 [aphillip]
zh-CN-HK is an illegal language tag (in one of the examples)
14:40:06 [r12a]
addison: might be better to avoid a chinese example, at least initially
14:40:36 [r12a]
... if you want control over which langauge is used, you should use cmn or yue tags rather than zh-CN etc.
14:41:44 [r12a]
ACTION: Addison to write an alternative proposal for the para giving an example in SSML 3.2.1
14:43:41 [aphillip]
reference BCP 47, "Matching of Language Tags"
14:44:02 [r12a]
might be better than RFC 4647 references
14:44:28 [r12a]
or at least RFC 4647 or its successor
14:44:43 [r12a]
felix: this is fairly stable rfc
14:44:55 [r12a]
addison: yes, that algorithm is probably pretty stable
14:47:01 [r12a]
3066 is not in the document, only in the references
14:47:07 [aphillip]
3066 is a stale reference; bcp47 is an informative reference
14:49:44 [r12a]
suggest to them that the sentence about BCP 47 be changed to say that values should conform to language tags in BCP47, and this would make BCP47 a normative reference
14:54:45 [r12a]
questions:
14:55:13 [r12a]
how does the voice/languages setting interact with xml:lang ?
14:55:23 [r12a]
does voice always override xml:lang?
14:55:31 [r12a]
is it left to the processor to decide?
14:56:09 [r12a]
para starting "voice attributes are inherited down the tree i" is very hard to understand and doesn't seem to imply any precedence
14:56:30 [r12a]
does voice override xml:lang changes in the text too ?
14:57:34 [aphillip]
how do you want to respond to them? richard to respond separately from addison
