Description Philip Jägenstedt 2012-08-10 09:03:49 UTC 
The use case is to hide future parts of the cue with ::cue(:future) { opacity: 0 }.

(It could also be nice to quickly fade cues in and out with CSS transitions using opacity on ::cue itself, but given that the cue doesn't exist in the layout before or after its time, it doesn't seem like that can work, currently.)

The visibility property could be allowed for authors who try that before opacity, but doesn't allow anything that opacity does not.
