That's different, though, as I said--in the normal case that shouldn't
happen.

The text in the current spec does seem to handle this correctly, allowing
browsers to skip if they need to but not dropping cue events
unnecessarily.  (Apparently there are old spec versions still present on
old URLs, lying in wait to bite those of us who navigate the spec using
browser history...)
