[webvtt] Wide Review Comment 2017: Positioning - are region height and width used?

== Wide Review Comment 2017: Positioning - are region height and width used? ==
Copy/paste from https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2017Sep/0080.html - raising as an issue for tracking/disposition purposes.

Reading section 3 data model, it appears that the region width and height are unused. This may be a bug, since ยง6.1 rule 14.3.3 says to interpret the cue's computed position as a percentage of the region width. It is in general hard to work out if the data model section aligns with the rendering section. I'm not sure how to fix that, but until it is fixed, document authors and implementers may be at loggerheads, each apparently doing the right thing but finding unexpected results for the other.
