Hello everyone, I wanted to send out an update regarding WebVTT and to start the ball rolling on the next steps. This week I was at FOMS and was speaking with Crunchyroll and they are investing heavily in WebVTT, which I thought was very cool and wanted to share. I've made a pull request[1] against the WebVTT repo to mark the following as at risk: - collision avoidance with snap-to-lines false, - ::cue-region pseudo-element - :past and :future pseudo-classes STYLE blocks are not marked as at risk because I have a prototype[2] that will be fully implemented by the time the 28-day wait period of updating the CR has finished. I have also made a branch[3] with test removals to match the at-risk features. With the test removals of the at-risk features, there is only one test that fails (see the rendering 2/27/19 sheet on the WebVTT web platform tests spreadsheet[4]). This one test is because browsers have not yet implemented `text-wrap: balance`[5] and the WebVTT defines that cues should have that property set. I think we should proceed with marking the above features as at-risk, then working on a new draft that removes the text to get it moved to PR. Afterwards, we can create a new Draft or even CR with the at-risk features put back in and work towards a new version of WebVTT. Thanks, Gary.
