I can't help but think in object-oriented terms, where it's a bit odd to have an interface member of unknown type which is made known by a subinterface. I tentatively suggest dropping "text track cue data" from HTML, so that WebVTT can define its own "text track cue text" just like the other things it adds to the text track cue model. The text track cue data is only used for chapters in HTML: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#text-track-cue-data To fix that, I'd change the "rules for rendering the cue in isolation" extension point to something more explicit like "rules for extracting the chapter title" that operates on a text track cue of a specific subtype, so that "text track cue text" is something WebVTT internal. (Point of confusion: Why is it called "rules for rendering the cue in isolation" anyway? The rules don't render anything, they return a string...) 115564 2 contributor 2014-11-26 22:12:21 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8859.
