[webvtt] Missing internal file-wide language declaration

zcorpan has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webvtt:

== Missing internal file-wide language declaration ==
See https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28255#c16

Straw-man syntax:

```
WEBVTT
lang:en

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Hello world.
```

The in-file language would be added to the language stack after the 
fallback language (if any) (see #257),  and set on the "list of WebVTT
 Node Objects" object regardless of the fallback language, so a node's
 applicable language would be

1. Language of the nearest `<lang>`
2. Language of in-file declaration (this issue)
3. Language of external fallback language (`<track srclang>`) #257

Are implementors interested in supporting this?
