We shouldn't reuse HTMLElements but set css properties on span elements as specs require.

Can we leave the ruby changes out of this patch since there's no tests? The test above doesn't have anything ruby related.

Lets leave all the changes in this file out until you have some tests.

What makes you think that they should by <span>s ? The spec says otherwise: http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/#webvtt-cue-text-dom-construction-rules .

The problem here is that first of all we should implement display: ruby property, but Hixie said that they will rewrite all ruby specs but for now I still should place rt on top of rb. It works with this patch, though you can't see rt's text because it overflows the top bound of the cue box. I think the only proper way to test ruby/rt is to do a DRT of the cue. Would you suggest doing this? I have broken all elements from being rendered at all with my previous patch (on purpose) but those were not covered by test. That's why I decided to fix this regression though there will be no new tests (except for i, b and u). Do you think that's not a good idea?

I only used 'spans' in the bug description because specs say something like "These represent spans of underline text ". I don't use html spans of course,  only plain elements. I should probably change the bug description and the changelog so that it's not confusing.

Ah, right, in the meaning of "span of text". I agree that it's an unfortunate choice of word in the spec and confusing. Could you use "span of text" rather than just "span"? I might suggest replacing the word "span" with "snippet" or "passage" in the spec?

How about just "i, b, u WebVTT elements should have default styles" ?

Works for me! Thanks!
