[webvtt] Wide Review Comment 2017: Algorithmic specification

nigelmegitt has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webvtt:

== Wide Review Comment 2017: Algorithmic specification ==
Copy/paste from https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2017Sep/0080.html - raising as an issue for tracking/disposition purposes.

The algorithmic nature of the processing model is helpful for initial implementations, but it is very difficult to understand and follow and perhaps more importantly looks brittle in case of changes. If a change is needed to the algorithm, it may be challenging for implementers to work out where in their implementations the equivalent change is needed, especially if the implementation has been optimised and does not follow the specification's structure exactly.
