inbandTrackMetadataDispatchType is defined as a DOMString. Are we planning to expose the metadata as JSON or something like that, or would it make more sense to expose it as binary?

I'm personally a fan of JSON, but it sounds like other developers would prefer directly exposing the original binary (although in some cases, like MPEG-TS, that might be a *lot* of data).
