I've tried to make clear in https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/53 that
the "Apply WebVTT cue settings" algo is also applied to region cues,
but that since region cues require a lot less settings to be applied,
parts of the algorithm were copied. See my other emails today with
Victor for how we can fix that.

Actually, after checking today, that is all done.
