I can't find an official mimetype for text in mp4; there's just application/mp4
for mp4 that doesn't contain either audio or video.

It was only really to have a type that specifically identified media as text
encapsulated in mp4. I guess it might be possible to be less specific and use
application/mp4 instead - a quick grep through the base/good/bad source code
shows that it's not being used in elements, so hopefully shouldn't break any
autoplugging.

Another option would be to suffix some more specific information onto the end
of application/mp4, for example application/mp4+stpp or application/mp4+text.
