This bug will be resolved when Issue 31 is resolved." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8171#c11 1.2 Bug 10455: "Mint a describedby attribute for the img element" reported by Laura Carlson.

Rosmaita.

FIXED BUGS: 2.1 Bug 11207: "Make track element additions technology neutral" reported by Sean Hayes. Ian's rationale: "I did most of the changes. A CueSettings object doesn't make much sense, so I just removed the constructor instead. For the charset="" attribute I used slightly different phrasing for essentially the same effect (so that I could cross-reference it from the WebSRT section in versions of the spec that do still include WebSRT)" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11207#c11 Check-in comment: "" http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5687&to=5688 3.
