Greg -
Interesting ideas! A few questions that occur to me on first read:

These can be null, except for name.
I am confused by your terminology. Does "Timed Text track" refer to
the caption elements, or the caption tracks in the media file, or
both? The term "Time Text track" has a very specific meaning in a
media file, so unless that is what you mean I think another term would
be preferable.
* All timed text tracks encoded in the video file are added to the
list, as an implicit caption element.
When should the UA create the implicit caption element(s) from the
tracks in the media file? What should it do about caption samples that
are spread throughout the media file?
* Caption tags, when displayed, count as <span
class="caption">...</span> unless they have style associated with them
(uncommon). So they can be tweaked via CSS. Whether by the author or
overridden by useragent.
So by default, all of the captions (along with number and time
stamps) for the entire file are displayed at the same time?
