           Summary: Make positioning values % instead of 'vh' and 'vw'
           Product: TextTracks CG

I don't quite see the point of using 'vh' and 'vw' and redefining the initial
containing block to the video's rendering area when we could just use
percentage values as easily as we are positioning all of these boxes absolutely
within the video's rendering box. The percentage will set it to % to the left,
width, right, etc, of the containing element which is always the video
rendering area.

If this is specifically for the case of regions, as we still want to specify
position, etc, as a percentage of the video I think it would make more sense to
have position, etc, specify values relative to the region as this is what the
author is positioning their cues in now.
