All you can do is apply styles to all regions. What's the purpose of this, then? It seems equivalent to ::cue with no argument, except maybe the background property would apply over a wider box. 119525 1 philipj 2015-04-15 09:26:52 +0000 Region IDs are half-removed. VTTRegion no longer has an exposed ID: http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/#the-vttregion-interface It's still used as part of the parsing, but my intention was to remove it from the model to make it entirely a part of the parser, but since it's not Web-exposed I didn't get around to that. 127711 2 singer 2016-10-11 16:39:48 +0000 I don't understand how to remove region IDs completely as they are used to associate regions with cues. It seems that if we must keep region IDs, we could (should?) have a ::region(id) selector.
