DataCue API support for DASH Client Event and Timed Metadata Processing Model

[irajs]

The new W3C DataCue API should support the new DASH Client Event and Timed Metadata Processing Model.

DASH-IF recently developed a data model for DASH client processing of MPD and inband events as well as timed metadata tracks intended for application. The API provides single API for MPD events, inband events and timed metadata track, supporting two different dispatch modes.

The draft specification (about to go to Community Review) repository: https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/Events

Many thanks, @irajs! The document here is an early draft, so this is valuable input. Our next task is drafting an API design. Please take a look at https://w3c.github.io/me-media-timed-events/, where we've documented use cases and requirements. Feedback welcome.
