Could I ask a couple of clarifying questions regarding the defining specification: a) Is it correct that the specification is not available online and is solely contained in one or more printed books, orderable from http://www.midi.org/about-midi/docorder.shtml (if so, not necessarily a problem, just wanted to be sure that was the situation) b) What is the IPR licensing situation regarding the defining specification. May it be freely implemented without roalty? if so, please say so. If not, please give details of where the relevant licenses may be obtained. c) Can you say a little more about Many synthetic audio compositions have associated intellectual property rights. It is conceivable that the rights owners of sp- midi content will want to protect their rights by applying security mechanisms that prohibit the rendering of the content without a legally acquired license to do so. and how that would affect a conformant reader of this media type? -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Interaction Domain Leader Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
