Feedback by Addison Phillips from W3C I18N group: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2015Mar/0055.html I18N comment: https://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/421 http://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#other-features In the example of a label, it is called out that CSS escapes are used in the CSS. Using some non-ASCII values in an example would also be helpful. Note that there is a non-ASCII character in one of the example lines, just not references in the escaping example.
I actually don't quite follow what is requested here. Addison, is it that you would like to see a note added to the example before the ::cue() part which says "(notice the use of non-ASCII characters in the second cue)" ?
Indeed, the second example of a cue has a non-ASCII character in it (the trademark symbol), but that isn't really what we mean. This comment is about escapes in the CSS portion. You do show escaping the number 1 as \31. Our recommendation is to show non-ASCII characters being matched, not just an ASCII digit. This is a minor comment.
one way to do that might be to replace the first example with a translation of the transcript credit cue. For example, in French this might be: crédit de transcription 00:04.000 --> 00:05.000 Transcrit par Celestials™ note the é (someone should check that this is a reasonable translation)
Thanks, Richard. Here's a pull request: https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/206
