--- Comment #25 from Philip Jägenstedt <philipj@opera.com> ---
I'm reopening this as we're now looking at implementing the "best position"
bits in Blink:
https://codereview.chromium.org/880873002/

We weren't too happy with the additional complexity and it doesn't seem
warranted just to pick the best of several suboptimal positions when the title
area is full of cues, a scenario with no really good outcome possible.

After considering various options, we'd like to simply discard cues that don't
fit:
https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/171

This ignores point 3 from comment #2 for the sake of simplicity in
implementation and testing. It shouldn't change behavior for any case with a
sane amount of cue text.
