Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#parsing-0 Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#parsing-0 Comment: Collect space characters and discard them after step 8. Posted from: 2001:4c28:a030:30:72f3:95ff:fe00:4501 User agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; sv) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51
In http://www.whatwg.org/html#parse-the-webvtt-settings, there seems to be a step missing to handle any separating whitespace between settings. Consider for example the settings string: "T:75% L:10" After parsing the "T:75%" part the algorithm is looking at " L:10" and is at step 2. Step 3 will then set 'setting' to " " and move 'position'. Step 5 will then set 'setting' to "" and step 6 consumes the "L". In step 8 the Otherwise-branch is taken and ":10" is consumed, resulting in the loss of the L-setting.

The change would be ok if the label "Settings" was moved to the same step.
