I've expanded somewhat on it at <http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Video_Overlay>. (I used the WHATWG wiki because it exists and also I like MediaWiki.) I think one of the most difficult problems in this and other proposals (e.g. Silvia's <itext>, from which I've stolen many ideas) is the algorithm for selecting a caption/subtitle resource from many candidates. I'm quite skeptical towards automatic language selection because of the failure of the UA language setting reflected in Accept-Language. I actually think that having sites allow the user to set a preference cookie for language and possible accessibility needs is much more likely to be successful. -- Philip Jägenstedt Core Developer Opera Software
