Comment:
The UA-defined label should not be exposed in the DOM API. DOM API should see
the empty string instead.

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-04-25 18:52:38 UTC 
In principle I agree, but the idea here is that a scripted controller can expose the tracks the same way as the UA controller. Do we really want to require that scripted controllers implement all the label magic?
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2012-04-25 19:19:36 UTC 
I think sites using custom controls would want to implement their own magic, and using the empty string would provide them with a sane check for when they should use their own magic.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7149.
Check-in comment: Make TextTrack.label not expose the UA-specific label if one is being used.
