The timeupdate event fired by media events should have a means for the handler
to distinguish whether the event was caused "as part of normal playback" or "in
an especially interesting way, for example discontinuously".

The author may need to prevent linked activities (particularly those that have
a duration, such as triggering an audio sound) when not in normal playback
mode. Conversly authors may need to apply overlays (e.g. chapter
descriptions)when the user is scrbbing the timeline which would not be revealed
during normal play.
