Goals section is not clear #15

Description

@othermaciej

The goals section is a little muddy. I think a more succinct version of the goals would be:

  • Allow video publishers to continue storing captions in legacy or custom formats
  • Make sure users can control presence and style of captions with system accessibility settings

As a result, we have this derived goal:

  • Allow captions to be served in custom formats, but still be rendered by the browser engine

The current goals as stated are met by the existence of WebVTT, I think. It's only the combo of these two goals that requires a new thing.
