>implementers including me consider DAVIC 1.x is a reasonable profile
>(or subset) of MHEG-5 even though it has several holes (i.e. absolute
>color specification method is missing).

Also what is missing is a way to specify the size of the text,
rendering (italics, bold, italics). (Some of these are available via
hypertext, but for various reasons that class is not easy to use for
HTML to MHEG conversion, even if that sounds a bit strange.. :)

>What applications do you have in your mind?

The application is automatic conversion from HTML to MHEG-5, and in
this task having varying fonts, sizes and styles is essential.

A somewhat old conversion result has been made visible at

http://www.vtt.fi/tte/projects/immp/mheg_vtt.html

One of these days I will try to replace it with something more
interesting and done with better version of the converter. (Note: the
converter is based on DIS version).
