Funny, I just recently talked with someone about that. He suggested
something along a "DNS for subtitles", e.g. having a hash value / UUID
embedded inside the stream and looking that up. So for example
<urn:caption:dd23d31a1158052b4e68899e1a991df102d82e52/de> could hold
German annstations and subtitles for the media file with that hash.
