I just (re-)discovered the wiki, so ignore the third question (unless anyone 
can hazard a guess as to how soon the items that are left might be 
addressed?)

As to the first - I see OggWrit, and that it depends on libogg2.  How 
backwards-compatible is libogg2, and is the the only way to add (text) 
subtitle streams to ogg?  How widely supported is this or any other mechanism 
for including subtitles in Ogg Theora?

Thanks...
