--- Comment #26 from Simon Pieters <simonp@opera.com> ---
Sorry for late reply, I've been on vacation.

I prefer my proposal to have a new constructor for unparsed cues instead of
repurposing TextTrackCue, detailed at the end of comment 20, for the reasons
given at the end of comment 20.

TextTrackCue looks like it would give a usable object that gets rendered (and
it does in existing implementations), but instead you get an unparsed object
that does not get rendered. This is not obvious and is hard to debug.

I read http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013Jul/0034.html but I
don't see any rationale against the proposal in comment 20, nor any addressing
of the concerns.
