            Bug ID: 27758
           Summary: MSE should provide a reference for sourcing track
                    attributes
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified

The MSE specification should provide an informative reference to "Sourcing
In-band Media Resource Tracks from Media Containers into HTML"[1] that
describes how audio, video and text track attributes should be sourced for the
MSE byte stream formats.

One way to do this is as follows:

- Add a statement to the general requirements for all byte stream format
specifications [2], e.g. "A byte stream format should provide references for
sourcing track attributes from data in initialization segments".

- In each of the existing byte stream format specs defined in the MSE registry
[3], add a reference to [1] in the "Initialization Segments" section; e.g. "The
user agent should source attribute values for id, kind, label and language of 
audio, video and text tracks as described for the relevant media resource
format. [INBANDTRACKS]"
