Excellent. This proposal omits the ability to move to a relative or absolute
position within a track, for example by minutes/seconds (or +- minutes/seconds
for relative motion). The use cases should be clear enough, although media
players tend to restrict their options to controls that skip back/forward by
prescribed amounts, such as 10 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes.

This extension, however, can safely be left as an issue to be considered for
the next version of the spec.
