This is a comment on:

http://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#comments

Comments in a WebVTT file are introduced by the string "NOTE" in English. This
serves as the same kind of marker that tokens such as # or // or /* */ do in
some programming languages or formats. Using an English word is less accessible
for international/non-English users than the use of a symbolic token.
