We will almost certainly provide a way for the HTML page author to disable caption tracks (Sylvia has already proposed such an API). Then the page author can superimpose whatever caption content he/she wants. Burning captions into the video stream is the most effective way to achieve that goal, and even that isn't foolproof. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
