please find below a message from Jon Piesing on MHEG-6 issues, from the
SC29WG12 list. I believe, that this is of relevance for MHEG-5 as well,
since it deals with the MHEG-6/5 API. If you are not related to MHEG-6
or on the proper other maillist, you may ignore this forward.

> Dear all,
>
> At the MHEG meeting in Cupertino it was agreed to reserve the dates of
> Feb 28th and March 1st for a potential ad-hoc to discuss the
> Applet/Calculator idea contained within the Netherlands comments of the
> CD ballot. This was to be conditional on the people concerned (Philips)
> producing more detailed proposals by Feb. 21st.
>
> We had an internal discussion about this and just can't find the resources
> to do what was asked.
>
> We are currently working on an alternative idea which is a lot simpler
> and hopefully a lot less disruptive to the current MHEG-6 specification.
>
> I suggest that the ad-hoc be cancelled and that the simpler proposals be
> discussed in Tokyo.
>
> I hope to be able to submit an explanation of the simpler idea to the
> reflector within 2 weeks.
