[Bug 16693] New: WebVTT should support  

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16693

           Summary: WebVTT should support  
           Product: TextTracks CG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebVTT
        AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch
        ReportedBy: glenn@zewt.org
         QAContact: dave.null@w3.org

WebVTT should support the escape " ".

Use cases from
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-texttracks/2012Apr/0012.html:

> Do not break a modifier from the word it modifies.
> Do not break a prepositional phrase.
> Do not break a person’s name nor a title from the name with which it is associated.
> Do not break a line after a conjunction.
> Do not break an auxiliary verb from the word it modifies.

For example,   allows you to write "Dr. Sbaitso", preventing word
wrapping from splitting the title from the name.

This is currently possible, by inserting literal Unicode NO BREAK SPACE, but
that requires jumping unreasonable hoops, and makes the placement of nbsp
invisible when viewed in anything but a specially-configured editor.
