/me mutters something about being able to handle accesible streaming
content with audio descriptions, closed-captioning etc... unfortunately
there aren't really many standards in that area yet AFAIK-- QuickTime,
Real and WMP all have their own proprietary ones at the moment I think. 
But having a media player that can handle them as they emerge would be a
seriously cool killer feature.  (Bill, do you know of any open standards
in this area?)

Cheeri,
Calum.
