RE: WebVTT

Yes in that specific case it would be possible to map to the wavefront. However in the general case it won't.

 I could write for example

<p begin="11.3s" end="13.4s">
  <span begin="0.6s">Somewhere</span>
  <span begin="0.1s">over</span>
  <span begin="1.1s">the</span>
  <span begin="1.7s">rainbow</span>
</p>

Which would come out like:

T1 --> T2
<c.hidden>Somewhere</c> over <c.hidden>the rainbow</c>

T3 --> T4
Somewhere over <c.hidden>the rainbow</c>

T5 --> T6
Somewhere over the <c.hidden>rainbow</c>

T6 --> T7
Somewhere over the rainbow

Spotting the difference between these two cases doesn't really seem worth the effort.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. This is basically the WebVTT approach with the "<c.hidden>" being the time marker and :past and :future being defined on that moving marker.

That might help to manage the conversion?

Cheers,
