Re: {minutes} TTWG Meeting 2019-01-10

FYI: the WebVTT tests were written pretty much to the latest version of the
spec. The were no substantial changes made after the test writing - Apple
funded the test creation. So the coverage is pretty good.

It will be good to point out to the browsers which areas they are coming
short in!

Cheers,
Silvia.
