The way it works for out-of-band tracks is that HTMLTrackElement.kind/lang are
writable, and that TextTrack is updated when those change. Is there no
underlying object with MSE that could work in a similar way? If not, I suppose
a HTML spec bug to make the attributes writable would be the next step.
