Sean wants to set up a barrier between captions and the page, so that the video/caption author's intent can't be "subverted" by the page author. Two different authors in question here. Boris is happy for it to be hard for the video author to set up such a barrier, as it's unnecessary and reduces the page author's ability to innovate for little reason. I think we can safely assume that he wants a low barrier of entry for captioning itself. ^_^ ~TJ
