4 Required Mark-up Support p. 7

4.1 Introduction p. 7

The present document defines a 3GPP HTML5 profile for use in 3GPP services, such as PSS [2], MBMS [3] and MMS [5]. In this clause, the set of required mark-up and APIs for the 3GPP HTML5 profile is defined.

The present document defines requirements and recommendations for Applications and UEs conforming to the 3GPP HTML5 Profile.

4.2 Markup p. 7

The HTML5 [1] specification defines conformance requirements for user-agents and documents:

Applications shall comply with conformance requirements for documents in [1].
UEs shall comply with conformance requirements for user agents as defined in [1].

4.3 Style p. 7

4.3.1 Introduction p. 7

Support for CSS as a whole is not required by HTML5, even though some features are defined in terms of specific CSS requirements. This clause defines requirements for CSS and other style and/or graphic related technologies.

4.3.2 Basic Graphic p. 7

UEs shall support CSS 2.1 [9].
UEs shall support CSS Color Module Level 3 [12].
UEs shall support CSS Image Values and Replaced Content Module Level 3 [15].
UEs shall support CSS Backgrounds and Borders [16].
UEs should support CSS Basic User Interface [14].

4.3.3 Device Adaptation, Layout and Processing p. 7

UEs should support CSS Media Queries [17].
UEs should support CSS Flexible Box Layout [19].

4.3.4 Advanced Graphic p. 7

UEs shall support the CSS Transforms [10].
UEs shall support CSS Transitions [11].
UEs shall support CSS Animations [18].

4.4 Scripting p. 8

Scripts are small programs that can be embedded into applications. While defining features that rely on scripting, HTML5 does not mandate support for scripting for all user-agents. Furthermore, scripting is defined using a syntax that in most cases is independent from the underlying scripting language. For such reasons, the present document has additional requirements as defined in this clause.

UEs shall support scripting as defined in [1].
UEs shall support ECMA scripting language [13].

5 API Support p. 8

A number of specifications from W3C or other organizations define APIs that provide additional functionalities to applications. This clause lists the specifications that SHALL and SHOULD be supported by a UE.

UEs shall support the Forms API [1].
UEs shall support the Canvas API [22].
UEs shall support the XMLHttpRequest API [23].
UEs shall support the Media Source Extensions [24].
UEs shall support the ISO BMFF Byte Stream Format [25] with the MIME type and subtypes audio/mp4 and video/mp4.
UEs should support the GeoLocation API [21].
UEs should support the Encrypted Media Extensions [26].
UEs should support the Web Socket API [8] with the protocol defined in RFC 6455 [28].
UEs should support the Server-Sent Events API [7].
UEs should support the WebCrypto API [27].

6 Service-Specific Aspects p. 8

6.1 Introduction p. 8

Additional requirements and usage restrictions are necessary depending on the service type that uses the 3GPP HTML5 profile. In this clause, these aspects are addressed.

6.2 DASH p. 8

When an HTML5 presentation uses DASH [4] for media streaming, then the HTML5 presentation may reference one or more DASH presentations through a reference to the MPD either as a source of an HTML5 media element or as a reference from one of the referenced resources.

The user agent should support DASH MPD as a supported MIME type for its source elements and attributes, in which case the DASH playback is done by the user agent.
