The html5 spec defines the following types: 
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#attr-track-kind

subtitles     Subtitles     Transcription or translation of the dialogue,
suitable for when the sound is available but not understood (e.g. because the
user does not understand the language of the media resource's audio track).
Overlaid on the video.
captions     Captions     Transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound
effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant audio information, suitable
for when sound is unavailable or not clearly audible (e.g. because it is muted,
drowned-out by ambient noise, or because the user is deaf). Overlaid on the
video; labeled as appropriate for the hard-of-hearing.
descriptions     Descriptions     Textual descriptions of the video component
of the media resource, intended for audio synthesis when the visual component
is obscured, unavailable, or not usable (e.g. because the user is interacting
with the application without a screen while driving, or because the user is
blind). Synthesized as audio.
chapters     Chapters     Chapter titles, intended to be used for navigating
the media resource. Displayed as an interactive (potentially nested) list in
the user agent's interface.
metadata     Metadata     Tracks intended for use from script. Not displayed by
the user agent. 

We should have the "srt" postfix to map to our special "mediaWiki" subtitle
format .. and all the other above listed category keys map to VTT format per
the updated per page content handler code ( and have them not allow wikiText
interspersed with srts )
