It has many features that will complicate implementation significantly which are not needed for this proposal. I think we should help define a DFXP profile that is more suitable for our needs. There is already a minimal profile in the DFXP spec itself. http://www.w3.org/TR/ttaf1-dfxp/#profile-dfxp-presentation Functionally, it doesn't ask any more than SRT does. It's really just adding begin, dur and end attributes to a half-dozen elements that already exist in HTML. But, and here's the important part, it's extensible. I think basing HTML5 captioning support solely on such a limited format as SRT would be a serious mistake. - m
