I think the core functionality is pretty basic -- external subtitles/captions are displayed together with the video. The points that seem most important to me to work out at this point are: * DOM interfaces. These should be the same regardless of source (external/internal) and format. I also believe these ranges have event listeners, so as to replace the cue ranges interface. * Security. What restrictions should apply for cross-origin loading? * Complexity. There is no limit to the complexity one could argue for (bouncing ball multi-color karaoke with fan translations/annotations anyone?). We should accept that some use cases will require creative use of scripts/SVG/etc and not even try to solve them up-front. Draw a line and stick to it. -- Philip J?genstedt Core Developer Opera Software
