I'm uncertain how with the seeAlso WebVTT captions I could say that they are captions rather than subtitles, descriptions, or chapters. Would it be possible to add a "kind" field that maps directly to an HTML5 track element attribute? Otherwise it could be ambiguous what the proper use for a WebVTT (or other captions format) file is. Players will sometimes have different controls for closed captions and subtitles.
