[Bug 13995] Don't check Content-Type for <track>

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13995

--- Comment #11 from Philip Jägenstedt <philipj@opera.com> 2011-09-16 08:29:18 UTC ---
I can't find any MUST requirements at all in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.17 or related sections, how would
this be a violation?

As with <video>, I see 3 options here:

1. Always obey Content-Type

2. Always ignore Content-Type

3. Add sniffing for WebVTT to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-mime-sniff-03 and use the sniffed
type, not the official content type. If spec'd as I imagine it, this would
allow serving WebVTT as text/plain, but serving it as application/ttml+xml
would fail.

(1) is unacceptable, (2) is what we've implemented, but (3) could be tolerable
if <video> were also made consistent with that.
