In principle I agree, but the idea here is that a scripted controller can expose the tracks the same way as the UA controller. Do we really want to require that scripted controllers implement all the label magic?

I think sites using custom controls would want to implement their own magic, and using the empty string would provide them with a sane check for when they should use their own magic.
