Reported bu Graham Clift in bug 21851#c35:

In order to address the issue where a textTrackCue object may or may not be
rendered by the user agent I would like to propose the following:

The definition of the mode attribute on the TextTrack interface is modified
such that any attempts to change the mode to 'showing' fails unless there there
is a cueFormatHint(as per
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/User:Spfeiffe/TextTrackChange#.283 prop (3) ) 
present that is recognized by the User Agent as a TextTrack with renderable
TextTrackCues based on this hint. 

In this way the application can detect whether to attempt CC display of
texttracks  unrecognized by the user agent by utilizing a JS method.
