Not sure. Probably a file, since style definitions are long.

Why only subtitles and toptitles ? Maybe someone wants midtitles :)

Another variant:
-sid accepts multiple values. These subtitles will be displayed 
simultaniously. n-th track (file) will be displayed using n-th style from the 
file given by -ass-styles option. The default (hardcoded) file contains 2 
styles: one for subtitles and one for toptitles.

'b' and 'j' cycle the first and the second subtitle tracks.
