[Bug 12564] This, for me is definately the way to go with text tracks. Since the text is embedded in the media file "In-Band" it means the content never gets lost. This is how we treat audio with video and is how DVD treated text too. Some devices such as iOS may not

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: As far as I understand the issue, there's significant demand and
use-cases for out-of-band text tracks, and implementers are interested in
supporting them.  Thus a specification is needed to ensure that implementers
all support the same format.  If you don't think implementers should spend
their time on out-of-band tracks, I suggest you take it up with them, so that
no specification is needed; this kind of decision is not made by specification
editors.  Authors who prefer to use in-band tracks can do that instead --
nothing's stopping them.
