"The following steps are run when a media element attempts the resource fetch algorithm with a MediaSource object URL"

It's not clear at which point in the resource fetch algorithm these steps are run. AFAICT, before step 4 (Perform a potentially CORS-enabled fetch) is the only place that really makes sense.

You are correct.

How about:

'If the resource fetch algorithm absolute URL matches the MediaSource object URL, run the following steps right before the "Perform a potentially CORS-enabled fetch" step in the resource fetch algorithm.'

Sounds good to me.
