Actually, I think we don't need it. WebVTT internal nodes already have an
applicable language and the root node is such a node. So, while we don't have a
way for authors to set it, the concept of an applicable language of a cue
already exists. We now just need to define a file-wide setting, such as

DEFAULT
Language: en-US

and we can propagate that as the applicable language on the root node of trees
of WebVTT Node objects.
