Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2010-09-26 17:20:54 UTC 
Question concerns getCueById
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-09-29 07:48:47 UTC 
getCueById('') returns the first cue without an ID, right. Is that a problem?
Comment 3 Simon Pieters 2010-09-29 10:28:51 UTC 
getElementById('') returns null, maybe it's better to be consistent with that.
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-09-30 19:44:43 UTC 
Ok, makes sense. Will do.
