Comment (by helen):

 I don't like to operate on the assumption that external work will get done
 on our timeline. Even assuming that subtitles will get done in time, does
 that include being able to specify which is loaded for localized versions?

 It looks like there are ways to convert from TTML (WordPress.tv's format)
 to SRT (more typical format, usable by MediaElement). I think we should
 test a couple methods and choose one as a backup option - the video should
 be on WordPress.tv anyway, so we could upload there, caption, and then
 convert captions and host those on a .org CDN - could probably get away
 with serving the video files directly from wherever they're stored for
 VideoPress/.com.
