Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2011-09-12 13:28:37 UTC 
Comments from the Open Video Conference, with implementors of Opera, Firefox,
Chrome and Safari discussing WebVTT.

It was probably intended to be 10%, but is actually 0.1% due to how the vh unit works. We think that 5% is a more reasonable default, i.e. 5vh sans-serif.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-09-14 22:38:08 UTC 
Done.
Comment 3 contributor 2011-09-14 22:39:00 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r6554.
Check-in comment: Fix the default font size for cue text to be half what it was intended to be before, and fifty times bigger than it was actually specified to be before...
