DVD is a subpart of MPEG: http://www.mpucoder.com/DVD/vobov.html,
http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/dvdmpeg.html .
Uses the same functionality for tracks, iiuc.

Matroska is interesting, see
http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/index.html#Track .

It has a TrackNumber and a TrackUID (the latter probably maps well
onto Ogg serialnumbers) and a Name (human-readable).

Further for display order it has a TrackOverlay element, which
specifies a track to be an overlay onto another one.

Cheers,
Silvia.
