A couple of links I just got from our find WebKitGtk friends:

http://people.opera.com/brucel/demo/video/accessible-html5-video-captions.html
http://people.mozilla.com/~prouget/demos/srt/index.xhtml

We can totally make subtitles happen in Yelp, regardless of
whether the browser does it natively.

It looks like .srt files are the standard for subtitles, but
I wonder if we should have a way to embed them directly into
Mallard documents to keep the translation workflow easy.

Sounds like a great idea for a Mallard extension.
