Good question! We agreed that timeformat is optional but we have said 
nothing about timeunit.
  - Case 1: timeunit is optional, default is 'second' ?
  - Case 2: timeunit is mandatory
I observe that xywhunit is optional! Perhaps we could be coherent here?

I remember we agreed to not predefine any track name, since we couldn't 
find in the existing container format a coherent naming scheme for the 
audio, video, etc. Davy, can you confirm?
