I believe Microsoft has expressed some interest in offering TTML as a timed
text formal. Apple isn't super enthusiastic about TTML, but we wouldn't rule
out ever supporting TTML or perhaps another format.

I think it would be useful if at least the basic APIs and elements for
referencing caption/subtitle tracks could work with other timed text formats,
since many exist and it is plausible that they will someday be supported on the
Web.
