How is this better than simply referencing the values as published in the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/single-page.html#dom-texttrack-kind-subtitles http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/single-page.html#dom-texttrack-kind-captions http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/single-page.html#dom-texttrack-kind-descriptions http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/single-page.html#dom-texttrack-kind-chapters http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/single-page.html#dom-texttrack-kind-metadata All of these already have identifying URLs and they resolve to something that is actually meaningful.
