Description Silvia Pfeiffer 2013-09-23 08:08:43 UTC 
The abstract description of text track cues includes a description of "text of the cue" at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#text-track-cue-text . It would probably be more consistent with the abstract nature of the TextTrackCue interface to make "text" one of the "additional format-specific data" in the paragraph beforehand.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-09-23 19:40:40 UTC 
I need something to hang the "rules for rendering the cue in isolation" on, but you're right that calling it "text" is bogus.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8194.
Check-in comment: Rename 'raw text' to 'raw data' for cues since it might not be text.
