Comment on Policy-based assessment of EPUB with Epubcheck by Nat

Great post, we might follow some of these rules! For the audio and video we are thinking of comparing MediaTypes from Epubcheck output and compare it to our specified allowed mediatypes (audio, video and else wont be there) and then accept only those without audio, video etc.
And how would you make the rule for external references to audio and video? Because they are reported in References (Epubcheck output) as simple references in the document. And we dont want to disallow all this references just references to audio and video. Still investigating this.

Comment on Policy-based assessment of EPUB with Epubcheck by Johan van der Knijff

Good point. The main concern here would be externally referenced audiovisual content in EPUB 3. Looking back at the blog it does seem a bit odd we didn’t explicitly address this (although none of the publishers we’re dealing with at the moment use A/V content, and the vast majority still supply EPUB 2). But this may well change in the future, so I think we should add a rule for this. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thank you for your interesting posts.
It seems that KB doesn’t reject files with external references.
Since external references aren’t good from a preservation perspective, could you possibly explain why KB’s policy doesn’t include this concern?

Comment on The future of EPUB? A first look at the EPUB 3.1 Editor’s draft by Johan van der Knijff

Thanks for getting back to this Matt. It didn’t escape my attention that the draft is intentionally provocative in places, and I agree this is an excellent way to poke people for feedback. I also like the use of Github issues for the review process, this makes everything really transparent while at the same time keeping the barriers for participating low. In an earlier draft of my blog post I actually mentioned these things in the final section, but that part of the blog didn’t make the final cut (I originally aimed for a 1000 word piece and went way over that!). The NCX sticks out as one of the biggies to me, so I’m curious about the outcome of that.
