            Bug ID: 20348
           Summary: Provide for some setting that allows UAs to implement
                    captions in a scrolling manner
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: TextTracks CG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebVTT
          Assignee: ian@hixie.ch
          Reporter: ian@hixie.ch
        QA Contact: dave.null@w3.org
                CC: mike@w3.org, public-texttracks@w3.org

Use case:
 Allow software developers based in the US who believe they will be
 covered by the CFR 79.103 rules to support captions while only
 implementing WebVTT, by allowing caption text to be displayed within
 one or separate caption windows in a mode where text scrolls up as
 new text appears.

We should probably not _require_ this since studies show it's a bad way of
doing captions, so whatever solution we have needs to support showing the same
captions as either scrolling captions or regular captions.
