ok, based on one reading of 4.8.10.12.2 (in-band):

"When a media resource contains data that the user agent recognises and
supports as being equivalent to a text track, the user agent runs the steps to
expose a media-resource-specific text track with the relevant data, as
follows."

and of 4.8.10.12.3 (out-of-band):

"If the fetching algorithm fails for any reason ... or if the sniffed type of
the resource is not a supported text track format, then queue a task to first
change the text track readiness state to failed to load..."

i can agree that no spec change is necessary; however, it would be a little
more clear if 4.8.10.12.2 had an "otherwise... do not expose ... a
media-resource-specific text track" as the the alternate to "when ..."
