Hi David,

If one were to write < audio controls> (as opposed to just < audio>), then the
user-agent would render something - it would render controls. I must disagree
that we must ask authors to use < video> when they have an audio track that
also provides captions for the end user, as it is both counter-intuitive for
authoring, and factually incorrect as well. We should ensure that the code we
ask for matches what the majority of authors would produce natively.

Reopening until we find consensus, which may be that this section (which
is/could-be as much about the user-agent and rendering captions in *any*
format) be removed from a spec about a time-stamp format.
