Re: Cues with 'start time' >= 'end time'

Hello,

I'm also supporting a modification of the parser here.

I'm concerned about particular unnatural situations that should be
handled the same by browsers.

Here's one that comes to my mind (maybe there are others as well):
Let's say such a cue (startTime < endTime) is a missed cue - skipped
during playback through monotic increase. According to the spec, when
the cue is processed, both enterEvent and exitEvent need to be
dispatched (in ascending order of the time associated with them).

Depending on the implementation, various situations can appear:
* Without extra processing, exitEvent gets fired before enterEvent
* Dispatching enterEvent associated with endTime and exitEvent with
startTime doesn't sound natural
* Not dispatching events at all in such a situation is not reglemented
by the spec.
