Yes, I think it should be made clear that concern over making WebSRT part of the HTML 5 spec should not be taken as concern over documenting SRT, or WebSRT. Documenting a format that is so widely used is a goodness. But perhaps it does not belong 'in' HTML 5. (Making progress on that document is a goodness too.)
