[Bug 28257] [webvtt] start/end linked to left/right [I18N-ISSUE-422]

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28257

--- Comment #4 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> ---
The "position" cue setting always positions the cue box left, middle, right for
horizontal cues. It does not react to text directionality (start/end are used
here to deal with horizontal/vertical cues).

It's the "align" cue setting that reacts to directionality and has start,
middle, end, left, right settings.

The example has a cue box width of 35% so that the cue box is positioned from
10-45% of the video's width, i.e. the left. This does not change with
directionality. The "align" setting deliberately has "start" though, so the
text within that box either goes from the left to the right, or the right to
the left.

Thus, the first cue is correct and so are the others.

However, I've created a pull request that should really help explain this much
better: https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/200

See what you think.
