This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Paragraphs [a] and [b] of Section 4.8.9 at [1] contain normative provisions that rely on the specifics of WebVTT specification, and should be moved to the WebVTT specification to complete abstracting the HTML specification from the underlying Cue serialization format. [1] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html [a] If the element's track URL identifies a WebVTT resource, and the element's kind attribute is not in the metadata state, then the WebVTT file must be a WebVTT file using cue text. [WEBVTT] [b] Furthermore, if the element's track URL identifies a WebVTT resource, and the element's kind attribute is in the chapters state, then the WebVTT file must be both a WebVTT file using chapter title text and a WebVTT file using only nested cues. [WEBVTT] Reference: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013Jun/0056.html
I'll change these into examples.
