Funny, I just recently talked with someone about that. He suggested something along a "DNS for subtitles", e.g. having a hash value / UUID embedded inside the stream and looking that up. So for example <urn:caption:dd23d31a1158052b4e68899e1a991df102d82e52/de> could hold German annstations and subtitles for the media file with that hash. -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
