...and this mostly seems to be about the inelegance that everything talks about subtitles when we really mean subtitles-or-captions, but I can't think of a nice word to use for both. "Text" sounds ok with e.g. "TextAsset" but what then is the equivalent of a single "Subtitle"?

A: a single subtitle is a "Text"...
