            Bug ID: 22104
           Summary: [WebVTT] Having a cue-setting keyword immediately
                    following cuetimes (without whitespace) seems to be
                    legal
    Classification: Unclassified

          Priority: P2

According to
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/#dfn-collect-webvtt-cue-timings-and-settings,
the string immediately following the second webvtt timestamp is treated as
cuetimes, and that substring is split on whitespace. However this doesn't seem
to take the initial whitespace into account, therefore the following string:
`00:00.100 --> 00:05.000position:20% line:-3` is apparently totally legal.

It's not clear if this is intentional or not. Intuitively, it doesn't really
make sense to not include some kind of separator between the timestamp and
setting.
