My point was more that having it as a integer seems like a rather arbitrary
choice. You could as well do it as an hexadecimal string, or zero-padded
integer, or ... :) What are you going to do with file formats where the tracks
are identified by something else, like in MXF where it is an 128 bit UUID.

How is this used in the W3C spec? Does it have to be of a specific format, is
it referenced from outside the media player somehow, e.g. by some JavaScript
that wants to select a track by an ID hardcoded somewhere?
