The question would then be: What would be the use of this?

* It's highly unlikely that any hardware mpeg4 player will ever 
support such a format -> no change
* people who don't want to use a hardware mpeg4 player can convert 
their files to mkv easily and can play mkv files easily

So the only gain would be to have a nice proof-of-concept that is not 
backward compatible to existing subtitle renderers and requires a lot 
of tools to be updated, just because of a proof-of-concept.

IMHO, this is a real misrelation between gain and cost, especially 
considering the amount of time I could spend on it atm...
