No.

A VTT file with a header

Style: CEA708styles.css

is saying that this style sheet should apply to the this VTT file.  Maybe we're in an environment (e.g. HTML) where there are also other styles in place.

The fact that some attributes may be duplicated doesn't mean they all are.  There is no provision for a style sheet in <track> is there?
