Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2010-09-27 14:54:23 UTC
This is about the Otherwise branch of the "If token is a start tag" section of the WebSRT cue text parser.

Since there is no check of the position after successfully collecting a WebSRT timestamp, something like <00:01.500b0rk> will slip through, which probably isn't intended.
