            Bug ID: 29179
           Summary: Validator is an undefined term
           Product: TextTracks CG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
               URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebVTT
          Assignee: dave.null@w3.org

  Target Milestone: ---

The Conformance section (2.1) encourages authors to use a validator but does
not define what a validator is. 

Note with reference to github/w3c/webvtt issue #217
(https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/issues/217#issuecomment-145750657) that the
intention is for different behaviour in validators vs user agents. If this is
the case then the concept of validation needs to be defined explicitly with
separate requirements to those for UA presentation.
