If the script needs MIME type to identify the format of a metadata track, then
yes.

I don't see a role attribute in either the HTMLTrackElement of TextTrack
interface.

Definition of @kind enumerates a set of kinds. There is only a single metadata
kind. The definition of name in http://wiki.xiph.org/SkeletonHeaders#Name
states it is a free text string. Inclusion of name could be used to
discriminate the specific type of metadata.

Thanks - WebM, MPEG-4 and DASH got cut off. Here is the complete list again.

Ogg - Ogg skeleton header fields: content_type, role, name [1]

MPEG-2 TS - Program map table entry fields: stream_type field in the PMT, any
descriptors [2]

DASH - MPD Role element, e.g.  <Role schemeIdUri=”urn:mpeg:DASH:role:2011”
value=”subtitle”/> [3]. NOTE: DASH has defined a scheme with a set of values.
It is expected that other organizations will define additional schemes as
needed.

WebM - TrackType and CodecID [4].

ISOBMFF (MPEG-4) - Contents of the handler reference box (hdlr) in each track :
attributes handler_type and name [5]. NOTE: MPEG only defines three types of
track handlers: video, audio and hint. Other organizations can extend the MPEG
handler reference box to define new types of tracks.
