RE: TextTrackCue changes

My wording was imprecise.  I was disagreeing with the commit on the change because it reduces capability on the textTrackCue object that is currently used by websites.  I interpreted Glenn's comments as understanding that, but perhaps I misread him.

I noted Ian's comment about retaining the constructor, the text attribute and (apparently previously removed) getCueAsHTML as being bad design.  As things stand, the generic cue object is the only one defined that supports TTML for these operations.  I don't agree with removing them.

Indeed. As a result of the lengthy discussions, they have now been removed from the base TextTrackCue interface and thus also removed the spec fork (Glenn's email points out all the right spec pointers.)

So, what you're asking for has indeed been achieved.

Regards,
Silvia.
