There are 34 open bugs on that document, several of which are very serious 
and will imply major changes, e.g. bug 20037. I think we should at least 
resolve the major bugs before we announce to the world that WebVTT is in 
any way "stable".

(It shouldn't take long; for 20037, in particular, we were relatively 
close to a resolution before Silvia took over editorship.)

Specifically, I think we should probably resolve any bugs that are asking 
for backwards-incompatible changes before making such a milestone announcement.
