I've made some changes to that spec. Still needs some effort to get
the rest of the 708 features specified.

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/text-tracks/raw-file/default/608toVTT/608toVTT.html

I've used the suggestion of Ian to reference external stylesheets with
an @import from https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18530 .
I've used multi-line header metadata for it with the bulky "##" end.
Not sure yet if I like it..

Cheers,
Silvia.
