<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#cue-ranges> We think that the "pause on exit" aspect of the cue range should be removed from the specification. Why? * It's only one of the functions that you might want to achieve at the end of a cue-range (e.g. loopback is another) * It gives the impression that it'll pause exactly at the end of the range, but this is not (necessarily) true. If the cue-range fired 'late' (because the system is loaded), it might pause 'late' (unless the specification is updated to say that it is pause-and-reseek-to-on-end-of-cue-range). * Even if it is, it's easily achieved by a script that does a pause and seek. * Removing it simplifies the API at no loss of functionality. -- David Singer Apple/QuickTime
