Re: [MMUSIC] Notes from Orlando human language draft discussion

[Christian Groves <[e-mail]>]

Hello Randall,

I had a look at the draft with respect to CLUE. The main difference 
between the CLUE usage of language and what is being proposed is the 
ability for the sender to specify sending AND receiving preferences. The 
current CLUE model is that an each endpoint Advertises what it can do 
and then each consumer chooses from this list. This could still result 
in an asymmetric usage of language (just negotiated differently).

You may need to consider the case where there are multiple streams of 
the same media type with different languages. e.g. an audio conference 
where one stream is the main audio of the conference and there's a 
second stream with a translation/s. This is the type of thing CLUE is 
considering. I'm not sure how this fits in with your work?

Some other comments:

With regards to the SIP "hint" it wasn't clear to me how this matches 
the languages in "humintlang-send" and "humintlang-recv". Is it planned 
that both will be supported in the header?

The "TBD" paragraph in 7.3 SIP "hint" mentions (where the caller sets 
media and language) but in the final paragraph of the 7.3 it sounds like 
the "hint" is only for audio?

7.4 Silly states - How do the language sub-tags come into play here? For 
example: the endpoint might specify a language for an audio stream which 
may be valid. If the endpoint also specified a sub-tag with "script" I 
guess it makes it a silly state?

Regards, Christian
