I misunderstood: I thought you referred to author ability to overwrite a
default language in a cue.

What is the problem with DEFAULTS lang and mapping to cue-level settings? In my
mind, providing a DEFAULTS lang sets the language for all the cues. Currently,
that language is defined by <track srclang>, so there already should be a
language setting on cues.
