One could likewise overload the language attribute for this. lang=en-simple or lang=en-US-easy. I gather CEA-708 has a bit in the data format which signals this and that the text is referring to this bit. A more direct equivalent would be to define a WebVTT file-level metadata element for it, but since the user-agent will want to know from the track attributes using title or lang seems sufficient to me. Overriding language might make it easier to remember the preference if simplified/easy reader is a setting one wants to retain under paragraph (10) since that attribute is more likely to have a reliable value. I suppose the user agent itself would only need to concern itself with these issues in implementing the default controls, and the 'manufacturer' in the case of captions displayed by the webpage itself would be instead the author of that page. -r
