This means that a specification such as "S:55" could be interpreted either as em or px. IIUC, "px" is meant to be the default CSS unit to interpret the value as, but it's not clear from the spec. Another developer that read the spec thought it was "em". I think we should specify what CSS unit the value is to be interpreted as in the CSS properties section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/webvtt.html#applying-css-properties-to-webvtt-node-objects 49987 1 ian 2011-06-21 06:59:25 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
