Let see if I am understanding this.  If I have a 1080p video display, and 1080p content, <tt tts:extent="640px,480px"> does not mean to display captions in a 640x480 window, it means to divide the 1920x1080 pixels into 640x480 logical pixels for mapping captions?  Further, by using <tt ttp:pixelAspectRatio="1,1", the client would not stretch the caption window horizontally, but would work within a 4:3 region of the video window and the logical pixels would map to 1440x1080 physical pixels?
