--- Comment #2 from Aaron Colwell <acolwell@google.com> ---
The kind & language attributes needed to be writable because that information
may not be in the init segments or media segments, but in the DASH manifest
itself. Making the attributes writable allows the web application to properly
annotate the kind and language in the tracks. If we can't use this syntax to
overload the existing HTML5 definition, then please propose alternative syntax
or help us get the attributes changed in the HTML5 spec.
The sourceBuffer attribute provides an easy way for the application to find
which SourceBuffer is responsible for a particular track and determine which
other tracks are also sourced by that same SourceBuffer. TextTrackCue follows
this same model since it has an attribute pointing to the TextTrack it is
associated with for presumably the same reason. The desire for this
functionality was discussed quite a while ago and you should be able to find
the discussion and rational in the archive. If you still want to discuss
removal of this attribute, then it should probably be in a different bug since
that is unrelated to the initial issue in this bug.
