What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

See discussion in https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/pull/523/files#r2348659042

Right now the sourcing of out-of-band text tracks is specified in HTML to use the track elements attributes, or fall back to the empty string or a UA-generated string (for label). If the WebVTT change moves forward to allow specifying these metadata in the file, HTML needs some changes to https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#sourcing-out-of-band-text-tracks to use that metadata when the track element's attributes are absent.
