Yeah - there's a whole swag of different types of related text that
needs to be regarded, not least of which are:

    * CC: closed captions (for the deaf)
    * SUB: subtitles
    * TAD: textual audio descriptions (for the blind)
    * KTV: karaoke
    * TIK: ticker text
    * AR: active regions
    * NB: metadata & semantic annotations
    * TRX: transcripts / scripts
    * LRC: lyrics
    * LIN: linguistic markup
    * CUE: cue points, DVD style chapter markers and similar
navigational landmarks

As for non-time-aligned metadata, vorbiscomment has so far served us
well, not least because it's extensible. There is also XMP, and a
whole swag of other metadata schemes. Plus, the W3C is currently
investigating a new ontology for video/audio metadata. This may be a
good extension for vorbiscomment once finished.

Cheers,
Silvia.
