This will cause more resources to be downloaded. Authors who are performance-savvy will avoid this attribute and implement the same functionality with a data-* attribute to avoid two tracks of the same kind group to be downloaded when they only want one. You said the reason for having this is to pre-emptively not break scripts that assume that default tracks are enabled. I'm not convinced that it is likely to be the case such that it makes sense to pre-emptively fix it. I could equally imagine scripts to assume that only one track per kind group is enabled by default. Or that all enabled tracks are showing. 74093 2 ian 2012-09-19 22:27:07 +0000 I guess this _could_ go either way... 79234 3 contributor 2012-12-01 21:58:55 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7556. Check-in comment: Don't make default='' tracks hidden if the user has configured the browser to automatically select another. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7555&to=7556
