Feel welcome to open a ticket at https://github.com/cellar-wg/matroska-specification/issues/new.

> We have some .MXF files (mostly JPEG2000) and are toying with the idea of migrating them to FFV1/.MKV, but currently .MKV can't contain timecode or closed caption streams. While I can’t say I fully understand the need for multiple timecode streams (often there are 3 streams in the .MXF), we’d definitely be losing data where closed captions exist.

For EIA-608 and EIA-708 data I suppose, either a new type of Codec Mapping could be written (and then these would be a new type of subtitle track) or they could be support as side-data with a BlockAdditionalMapping as described at https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-cellar-codec-04.html#name-block-additional-mapping. I’m unsure which technique the community would recommend but curious for some discussion on it.
