Description
Safari provides native support for the <track> element, which means captionator is not used in Safari for the caption track. We need to investigate how we can control the position and colour of the captions in Safari, possibly by altering the VTT files.

2012-12-05T10:35:31.268-0500 So far, I've found no documentation specific to styling captions in Safari.
The WebVTT spec allows for various things that could be used to style the captions
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/
but Safari's <track> support covers very few of them. Safari seems to support the line and position cue settings, allowing some degree of positioning control over the caption block, but the size setting doesn't seem to work, nor the class span and/or ::cue pseudo-element, which would be ideal. -
