That's sort of what I suggesting, a way to do it without attributes, 
which is why I suggested <a.https www.example.com/>stuff</a> - where the 
first dot is delimiter between tag and arguments and within arguments, a 
space is delimiter between protocol and url (requiring %20 for spaces in 
url in case it ever needs to be extended with a third argument, such as 
possibly accessible name for link)

I don't want to raise a feature request, would rather someone with a 
better understanding of where WebVTT is going do that if this fits where 
it is going, so I just thought I'd suggest here. Which is now done.
