It does not "work" when there is no media controller and no media loaded. My
position is that setting currentTime to itself in this scenario should be
considered a NO-OP, and not cause an exception due to lack of media.

Furthermore, there is an inconsistency regarding treatment in the case where
readyState is HAVE_NOTHING. In particular, we have:

4.8.10.6

"On setting, ... if the media element's readyState is HAVE_NOTHING, then it
must raise an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception; ..."

4.8.10.9

"1. If the media element's readyState is HAVE_NOTHING, abort these steps."

Why should the first above (4.8.10.6) raise an exception when the second
(4.8.10.9) does not?

I'm suggesting that in the case of HAVE_NOTHING, that setting currentTime to
itself should not raise an exception and should be a NO-OP. One might also make
the argument that setting currentTime to *any* value in the case of
HAVE_NOTHING should also be a NO-OP.
