IMHO that would be the best solution.
I have never seen a very complex usecase with hierachical chapters etc. 
in real world.

I don't care what the prefix ist, the nice thing about "CHAPTER" is, 
that it's the same as in matroska ...

Agreed.
But maybe it's better to use e.g. WebVTT for such complex use-cases?
