Wording change around cue box positioning

Hi all,

As a consequence to bug
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28073 , we recently
changed our wording for the cue settings "position" and "line".

The change was made in https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/197 .

You can read up on it in
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/#webvtt-cue-settings . Pay particular
attention to the use of "line offset" instead of "line position" now.

The change was made to avoid the overloaded word "position" in both directions.

There is a question in the pull request about whether this change
makes the spec more readable or no. We're looking for input from
others, in particular WebVTT authors.

Cheers,
Silvia.
