The getElementsByTagName() thing is only because there's a potentially infinite number of them, so it's impractical to remember them all. 67049 2 zcorpan 2012-04-25 19:25:18 +0000 Same reason, really. 69463 3 ian 2012-06-27 21:24:15 +0000 There's only one possible object from each <track> element's "cues" attribute. Same with "activeCues". So comment 2 makes no sense IMHO.
