WebVTT review

http://www.w3.org/International/track/products/73

issue-418?

<trackbot> issue-418 -- observation: line wrapping, line balancing ⓟ -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/418

http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-webvtt1-20141113/

http://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#cues-with-multiple-lines

richard: see in section 6 later?
... don't think you can set css properties for line wrapping
... didn't see it
... they are pretty specific about which css properties you can set
... don't think that's one

addison: keep our eyes on this, add line wrapping properties to comment

issue-419?

<trackbot> issue-419 -- term "NOTE" may not be friendly to users in other languages ⓟ -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/419

jck: may also be a bidi issue

<arabic> NOTE <latin>

richard: markup would mess up the file in an plain text editing process
... controls are invisible and may create other issues
... seems that we need a "bidi reference model" ?
... how you expect to display, edit, etc.

issue-420?

<trackbot> issue-420 -- no provision for indicating overall content language(s) ⓟ -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/420

addison: also no way to set the whole document to rtl either

issue-421?

<trackbot> issue-421 -- non-ASCII examples? ⓟ -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/421

Generally in the document, I don't find a means for indicating the natural language of the content as a whole. There is a cue language span, for spanning runs of text, but no way to indicate the language of the file as a whole (that is, the language outside a spanned section).

This specification defines a JSON-based manifest that provides developers with a centralized place to put metadata associated with a web application. This includes, but is not limited to, the web application's name, links to icons, as well as the preferred URL to open when a user launches the web application.
