Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#websrt-cue-text-parsing-rules Comment: Should it really be OK to have timestamps with trailing garbage like <00:01.500b0rk>? Posted from: 83.218.67.122
This is about the Otherwise branch of the "If token is a start tag" section of the WebSRT cue text parser. Since there is no check of the position after successfully collecting a WebSRT timestamp, something like <00:01.500b0rk> will slip through, which probably isn't intended.
