And I forgot: This misses my main point: Not supporting this format
means more incentive for someone to specify and add ASS support for Ogg,
which IMO would be much, much preferable over yet another subtitle
format - esp. when it is a format that will require a highly complex
renderer I do not see having two formats as desirable, not even
remotely. ASS seems to be quite universally supported already, with IIRC
VLC already implementing the "next" version of it.
