You can specify a CSS file in a single line. In fact, all web page compression programs do this. Semicolons are significant though. As for line breaks in RFC822 header syntax: as long as you put a blank or other whitespace character at the beginning of the line, RFC822 header syntax allows it to be a continuation line and folds it in. We would just need to make sure WebVTT doesn't recognize that as the end of the header section and starts trying to parse cues. > And we don't *want* actual empty lines, as simple parsers will think the cue-text is coming next. OK, then RFC822 header syntax seems adequate. Silvia.
