Re: WebVTT feedback

I'm still looking into it, but I guess the "Firefox defaults to Japanese
glyphs" thing doesn't hold in general.  Oh well, it was worth a shot...

It's not a real "clean start", though, since WebVTT generates DOM nodes
that should be interoperable with the rest of the browser.  I don't think
WebVTT is the right place to fix this--it should just generate @lang
attributes on the generated nodes, not define its own special glyph
selection rules.
