--- Comment #3 from Philip Jägenstedt <philipj@opera.com> ---
Making the :lang() selector do something does not require language metadata in
the file itself, hooking it up with TextTrack.language would suffice.

However, this bug does not explain *why* there needs to be a default language
that :lang() can match. That would just match everything that isn't in <lang>,
which can just as well be done with the ::cue() pseudo-element, having :lang()
override that default style where needed.

If reopened, I think this should still be v2, and that we should wait for Web
authors in the trenches to request this before adding it.
