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: <track> Don't use <q> for voice object 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
<q> would render quotation marks. That's not desirable. We suggest either not using an element at all or using <span title> (although title="" seems a bit odd also, and would probably be annoying to get a tooltip if you happened to hover the captions).
Not using anything at all seems bad. I agree that <q> seems bad though, as does title="", arguably. Not sure what to propose.
I went with just changing "q" to "span" for now, left the "title" thing alone.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r6722. Check-in comment: Use <span> instead of <q> to represent spans of text with a given voice, since HTML doesn't have an equivalent to <v> and <q> would add quotes. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=6721&to=6722

Then you can translate it, format it etc.
