[Bug 25353] [DataCue] change DOMString? text to any? value

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25353

--- Comment #2 from Aaron Colwell <acolwell@google.com> ---
I'm concerned this will lead to unspeced "protocols" between the UA and the web
application if we do this. Why is having a generic DataCue that returns an any
better than defining specific cue types for different types of information that
can be returned? 

This feels a little like the postMessage()/onmessage pairing, but the posting
entity is not actually visible to the web application so it has no idea what
the universe of things to expect could contain.

I also feels like this is taking us away from the text track concept into
something more "timed event"-like which makes me wonder if this should even be
considered a text track.
