I am curious about comments to this proposal and suggestions for
improvement.
I have not yet developed an improved specification, but instead have
collected feedback at

I have already given feedback on this (see above link) and am supportive
of the general approach taken with this. I think the core functionality is
pretty basic -- external subtitles/captions are displayed together with
the video. The points that seem most important to me to work out at this
point are:
* DOM interfaces. These should be the same regardless of source
(external/internal) and format. I also believe these ranges have event
listeners, so as to replace the cue ranges interface.
* Security. What restrictions should apply for cross-origin loading?
* Complexity. There is no limit to the complexity one could argue for
(bouncing ball multi-color karaoke with fan translations/annotations
anyone?). We should accept that some use cases will require creative use
of scripts/SVG/etc and not even try to solve them up-front. Draw a line
and stick to it.
