Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/the-iframe-element.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#webvtt-cue-text-dom-construction-rules Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#webvtt-cue-text-dom-construction-rules Comment: Drop Timestamp Objects on the floor instead of exposing as PIs Posted from: 88.131.66.80 by simonp@opera.com User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.874.21 Safari/535.2
Exposing the timestamp as a PI is not very useful. If the author wants to use the timestamp info, he would need to parse them out manually and split the que into separate elements. We discussed wrapping the time blocks in separate elements (spans) instead of using PIs, but in the end concluded that we'd rather defer satisfying this narrow use case sometime in the future (if ever), and dropping the PI now.
Isn't exposing them in a difficult way better than not exposing them at all?
