This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
(non-normative change request to address an issue HbbTV brought up in https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24860#c13 ) In https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#user-interface there is a list that gives examples for controls that a UA my provide if @controls is absent: "Even when the attribute is absent, however, user agents may provide controls to affect playback of the media resource (e.g. play, pause, seeking, and volume controls), but such features should not interfere with the page's normal rendering." Add captions to this sentence, e.g. "(e.g. play, pause, seeking, caption track activation/deactivation and volume controls)". Reason: HbbTV's concern is that the captions/subtitle button on a remote control needs to always work even with the @controls is not present, but that captions/subtitles aren't explicitly mentioned as being able to have UA provided controls.
