ProcessingInstruction node whose target is "timestamp" and whose data is a WebVTT timestamp representing the value of the WebVTT Timestamp Object, with all optional components included and with the seconds separator being a U+002E FULL STOP character (.).

The last part appears to be left-over from when either a comma or a full stop was allowed as the separator. Now only full stop is allowed: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#webvtt-timestamp
