--- Comment #7 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> ---
Let's take this example cue:

52 my cue identifier
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:01:05.000
My cue

In CSS you have to write:
::cue(#\35 2\ my\ cue\ identifier)


You're telling me that browsers identify the element id "52 my cue identifier"
with the CSS selector "#\35 2\ my\ cue\ identifier" - which resolves part of my
concerns.

I'm also concerned about WebVTT authors that are not deeply knowledgable about
the Web and may try to use ::cue(52 my cue identifier) , since that is what the
WebVTT spec implies.

I'm closing this bug again, but I think this will be a common pitfall for
authors and thus should at minimum go into an authoring spec for WebVTT.
