I'm a bit confused about why W3C's Timed Text Candidate
Recommendation hasn't been mentioned in this thread, especially
given that Flash objects are the VIDEO element's biggest
"competitor" and Flash CS3's closed captioning component supports
Timed Text. I haven't used it myself: is there some hideous
disadvantage of Timed Text that makes it fundamentally flawed? It
is appears to be designed for use both with subtitles and captions.
Here's the link for the CR:

My understanding is that the purpose of this thread isn't to find a
captioning spec for HTML 5 but to find the right way to do closed
captions in Ogg.
Oh. I was under the impression that this thread was about the right
way to request and get captions in HTML/Web. How the Ogg community
designs intrinsic caption support is up to them, isn't it?
