I agree with this sentiment, the specification should simply state the returned values are guaranteed to be cryptographically secure, that's all that needs to be said. There is no need to describe how this is implemented, if an implementation provides predictable values then that

Silvia, all, We're working with multitrack MPEG transport streams, and have an implementation of the TimedTrack interface integrating with in-band metadata tracks. Our prototype uses the Metadata Cues to synchronize a JavaScript application with a video stream using the stream's embedded EISS

Hi Eric, I'm curious: if you are using @kind=metadata - which is not generically applicable, but only has application-specific data in it - then this implies that the web page knows what type of data is in the track's cues and knows how to parse it. Why do you need a mime type on the cues then?
