--- Comment #10 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> ---
After discussion at FOMS, we've arrived at the following:
WebVTT files are typically used through the <track> element, through DASH, HLS
and MP4 or WebM in-band file.

<track> has @srclang to provide the language.

DASH and HLS have manifest files to provide the language.

MP4 ISO format and WebM have a header to specify the language.

In essence: the language of the file is something that is specified externally
to the WebVTT file.

Language-specific font selection is supported through the CSS :lang() selector,
which can be applied to all cues in a WebVTT file through the use of ::cue,
i.e. ::cue:lang() .
