The <track> element points to timed text, i.e. to a file that provides text fragments along the timeline of the video. SVG is not suitable for that use. Just like you cannot put a SVG into a <audio> or <video> element, you won't be able to put a SVG into a <track> element. However, we can e.g. create a WebVTT file with data in the cues that point to SVG files or whatever else we want to time-align with the video and link that in the <track> @src with @kind=metadata. Cheers, Silvia.
