Below is some example normative text. Let me know if this needs to be reworked
in any way.
We've also developed a more general mechanism for exposing all track metadata
in media resource with in-band tracks (see
http://html5.cablelabs.com/tracks/media-container-mapping.html). This is
defined for Ogg, WebM, MPEG-2 TS and MPEG-4 File Format media types. Basically,
the metadata is exposed via a text track to script .
This would be an alternative to the normative text below. This alternative is
more general and also applies to video and audio tracks so in that sense I
think it is a better solution. However, it may be too much to consider at this
point.
Requested normative text
=====================================
The attribute (let's call it text_track_type) MUST be set to a string depending
on the MIME type of the media resource:
video/ogg - The string contains the values of the Ogg Skeleton message headers
content-type, role and name for this text track: '{"content_type":string
containing content-type message header, "role":string containing the role
message header, "name":string containing the name message header}'[1].
video/mp2t - The string contains the PMT elementary stream type and descriptors
for this text track: '{"stream_type":string representation of the PMT
stream_type field, "es_descriptors":[es_descriptor, ...]}'. Each es_descriptor
is {"tag":string representation of the PMT descriptor tag,
"desc_contents":Base64 encoded representation of the PMT elementary stream
descriptor}[2]
video/webm - The string contains the TrackEntry and CodedID for this text
track: '{"tracktype":string representation of the TrackType element contained
in the TrackEntry element, "codecid":string representation of the CodecID
element contained in the TrackEntry element}'[4].
video/mp4 - The string contains the track hdlr box and trak box contents for
this track: '{"trak-mdia-hdlr-hdlr_type":string representation of the hdlr box
hdlr_type field, "trak-mdia-hdlr-name":hdlr box name field, "trak":Base64
representation of the trak box (and all child boxes)}' [4]
