In section 1.3 there is feature for defining the width and alignment of text.
The keywords used are 'start' and 'end', which is great. However, the text
describing this feature implies that 'start' is always 'left' and end is always
the opposite side. Here's what the text says:
--
The first cue has its cue box left aligned at the 10% mark of the video
viewport width and the text is left aligned within that box - probably
underneath a speaker on the left of the video image. "start" alignment of the
cue box is the default for start aligned text, so does not need to be specified
in "position". The second cue has its cue box right aligned at the 90% mark of
the video viewport width. The same effect can be achieved with
"position:55%,start", which explicitly positions the cue box. The third cue has
middle aligned text within the same type of cue box as the first cue.
--
Explicit support for text directionality should be provided and a clear linkage
established between direction of the text and 'start'/'end' positioning.
