If you try to represent an instantaneous metadata event with eg. "00:0.050 --> 00:0.051", the metadata cue (and more importantly, its enter and cuechange events) may never be fired, since the current playback position may never lie within the cue. Worse, that particular cue would probably work reliably for a 25 FPS video (a frame begins at 50ms), but break if the video track is replaced with a 30 FPS one (a frame begins at 33ms). That means changing the framerate of a video could affect scripts. It would be ideal if cues were always entered and exited, even if the current playback position skips over the metadata's time range. (During normal playback, that is, not if the user seeked past it, or if the UA had to discard cues for performance reasons.) -- Glenn Maynard
