Woops, sorry about that. I'll make another pass on the structures vs
docs before submitting the next version.

Well, I think using "ts" instead of "timestamp" is much less explicit
(I'm really not a big fan of abbreviations...).
Also, this field is in the dpb entry structure and since a dpb entry
describes a reference, I find it quite straightforward already without
any added prefix. The prefix feels redundant with the name of the
structure that holds the element.
I think the same should apply for mpeg-2 and h.264.

I think we'll need to rework the controls to include flags and such in
the not-too-distant future. So there will be an occasion to change it
then (the same work also needs to be done for MPEG-2).
If you prefer that we make the change now and later update it along
with the controls, I can definitely do that too.
Cheers,
Paul
