idividual -> individual

In the CTA-861-G spec value 0 is used to indicate that this information is
not present. How is that handled here? Can it be 0 as well in an HEVC stream?

Same for the next control.

CTA-861-G defines this as: "coded as unsigned 16-bit values in units
of 0.00002, where 0x0000 represents zero and 0xC350 represents 1.0000."

Is that true here as well? If so, then this should be documented because
"normalized x chromaticity coordinate" doesn't say anything meaningful.

In CTA-861-G this is in 1 cd/m^2 units.

And this in units of 0.0001 cd/m^2.
