Description Aaron Colwell (c) 2012-09-22 01:14:36 UTC 
TextTrack does not contain an id attribute like AudioTrack & VideoTrack so they can't be reference by Media Fragment URIs like audio & video can. 

I propose that the id attribute be added to TextTrack and a getTrackById() method be added to TextTrackList so that these objects are consistent with the audio and video counterparts.
Comment 1 Erika Doyle Navara 2012-10-19 19:21:03 UTC 
Moving this to HTML.next as we work to lock down HTML5.0 for CR.
Comment 2 Edward O'Connor 2012-11-14 21:46:15 UTC 
Seems reasonable to me.
Comment 3 Robin Berjon 2013-01-21 15:58:31 UTC 
Mass move to "HTML WG"
