I believe that this feedback was provided by a person representing the
deaf
or hard-of-hearing community and not the subtitling community. In
particular
at FOMS I heard the opposite opinion.
Is "this feedback" about styling hooks or HTML as the cue text format?
Both?

Why? Were any technical reasons given?
The question was directed at the media player/framework developers
present. One of them didn't care and one was strongly opposed on the basis
of bloat. This was an aside, if anyone is serious about using the HTML
fragment parser for WebSRT, we really should approach the developer
mailing lists of media players/frameworks. I doubt we will find much love,
but would be happy to be shown wrong.
