I've already noticed one bug and am fixing it: section 7.3 should not
extend the TextTrackCue, but the WebVTTCue. So, I'm dropping that
section.
I'm also renaming WebVTTCue to VTTCue (see
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22020 ).


Also, what do people think about the TextTrackRegion interface. Should
that be restricted to WebVTT files?
My original motivation for creating a generic TextTrackRegion rather
than a VTTRegion was that other files (in particular CEA708 and TTML
files) also have regions with similar properties. But I may be
assuming too much.

I'm thinking of renaming TextTrackRegion to VTTRegion and
TextTrackRegionList to VTTRegionList.
And we would not add the TextTrackRegionList to the TextTrack object,
but create a VTTTrack object with these extended interfaces.

Cheers,
Silvia.
