Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#websrt-cue-text Comment: For good French typography, we need a sup span. Posted from: 88.173.237.22
Show me a screenshot of subtitles with superscript text.
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: In the absence of evidence that anyone does this in subtitles today, I'd rather not succumb to feature creep.

For more details, see this document: > http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Given that WebSRT has not been adopted into the W3C specification at this time, I find it curious that the editor quotes W3C Resolution Policy. I will presume that this is an oversight on the editor's part, rather than a specific recommendation. > > Status: Rejected > Change Description: no spec change > Rationale: In the absence of evidence that anyone does this in subtitles today, > I'd rather not succumb to feature creep. *Should* WebSRT be adopted in the W3C version of HTML5, this issue *may* (and likely will) resurface.
