text for the Tracker Issue; or you may create a Tracker Issue

Status: Rejected

Change Description: none
Rationale:

This is a misunderstanding - there is nothing inherently visual about the
<track> element. Subtitles in a <track> element in an <audio> element will
provide the cues (e.g. the individual subtitles) through the JavaScript API. It
allows the Web developer to do something with the cues in sync with the video,
e.g. display them in a div next to the video or some other screen location.
