    <thetext>[[
Apply the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm&apos;s Paragraph Level steps to the concatenation of the values of each WebVTT Text Object in nodes, in a pre-order, depth-first traversal, excluding WebVTT Ruby Text Objects and their descendants, to determine the paragraph embedding level of the first Unicode paragraph of the cue. [BIDI]

As far as I can tell, the paragraph separators for the purpose of the referenced step P1 are class B characters only. It would be nice to call it out explicitly.

TR9 talks about &quot;appropriate Newline Function&quot; which, per 5.8 Newline Guidelines in Unicode, is platform-dependent but the listed examples are all class B characters. TR9 also talks about &quot;higher-level protocol paragraph determination&quot; but WebVTT doesn&apos;t have those, I think. Hence, the paragraph separators are the class B characters.</thetext>
