WebVTT Implementation Status
The discussion was build on top of the following aspects:
webkit/blink/presto
- started implementing at the same time (one and half year ago)
- basic support for the spec is everywhere
- ships in various versions
firefox
- doesn't ship in the default
ie
- ?
Some other preliminary notes (before the discussion on the document):
- rendering is generally lagging in behind and maybe not interoperable
- vttregions aren't shipped anywhere in the end so far
- how to test the very latest features?
- how to find out the lowest common denominator (the common features implemented) ?
- do we want to think about version numbers for the spec? that's what the recommendation track means: fixed feature set
- for the webvtt files? versioning on the web hasn't been a great success
- browsers don't care about version number
