It specifies how the lines in a cue box are default positioned between the top and the bottom of the cue box. We hadn't specified this before, but we haven't really had the concept of an explicit cue box either. I currently think we should use "start" as the default alignment so that if the cue box gets filled with more text (e.g. via paint-on text), the space is used better. Let me know if you think otherwise. "line alignment" in 3.1 relates to the second part of the "line:" setting and defaults to "start", so this is correct. In 4.4.2, the note is wrong and should say "start". 5.1 "start" as default for line alignment is correct. 99134 2 philipj 2014-01-27 08:39:09 +0000 Setting to v1 since this is about the position/alignment confusion. 100490 3 silviapfeiffer1 2014-02-13 11:00:32 +0000 Fixed in https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/commit/f590d2c8e30655f6ad2bea2dd8a50af513ae8b2b
