Okay I see.

What's the reason for having getCueAsHTML() separate from the actual CSS specifications applied to nodes when rendering them as subtitles? Why not just use getCueAsHTML() for subtitles as well?

My first thought is that there should be some kind of default display for voice text. If it's something that people are going to be wanting to use a lot, which I would think it is, then it would make sense to have some kind of default that people don't have to worry about it.
