We're implementing a polyfill to expose DASH Events in the MPD and ISOBMFF
media segments where MSE is used for the DASH client. Initially we defined a
DASHEVentCue object interface. It had the same interface as DataCue. For this
reason, we decided to implement DataCue instead of DASHEventCue. I think all
metadata cues will be the same - what would be different? It's all about
passing data to JavaScript that is opaque to the UA.

If DataCue goes away then I think we'll have a proliferation of more specific
metadata cues, all with the same interface.

As soon as this work is completed we'll make it available for others to
evaluate and use.

Bob
