The phrase "missed cue" doesn't appear in the spec.

But after searching, I see it's in
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html.
It's irritating to waste time because we have two copies of a spec that
aren't being kept in sync, never mind the consequences if people implement
out of date specs.  Why are they out of sync?  It's bad enough to have TR's
confusing things...
