  So it is a method for the content author to indicate a track to use if no other track is selected? IOW, this example:

<trackgroup media="accessibility(captions:yes") >
  <track src="en.srt" lang="en" enabled >
  <track src="fr.srt" lang="fr" >
  <track src="de.srt" lang="de" >
</trackgroup>

 says to use "en.srt" everywhere except German and French systems?

  This seems reasonable to me.
