I see two comments opposed to restoring the text attribute and the constructor to the base texttrackcue object. I am in favor of that, and thought others were as well. How was this specific topic resolved and committed? Was there a broader consensus for this change?

Removed the WHATWG fork: TextTrackCue is now fully abstract again. See https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/580e7e6f98fbd82586aa7e894efbe8c16b99701f This resolved https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22903 . 2. Introduced DataCue and clarify kind=metadata: DataCue has been introduced to deal with in-band metadata tracks. Clarified that all non-rendered tracks are of kind "metadata". See https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/e254307b50a0411ca5e8f37587817804c3dd3d14 https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/026452845c5e83860c70b82cddba1bc9e94da7ad This resolves https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21851 Note that I've added a .text attribute as a convenience accessor for Web devs, but I'd be happy to remove it until we see a need for such a convenience. Also note that I have only applied the changes to the HTML5.1 specification. Please register a bug if you would like to see it backported. Regards, Silvia.
