 accomplished in one element.
 
 The textoverlay base class should derive from Videofilter.  I still
 need to figure out how to stuff extra pads onto a subclass of
 videofilter, but I think its possible.

+It's for accessibility and portability. We're currently thinking of
+text on a video as the only thing, but how about text output to a
+braille reading device as an a11y feature for people that cannot view
+movies? Or how about text output to festival as a way of implementing
+artificial karaoke? Or on systems that don't have/support pango (KDE!)?
+
+A base class sounds fine, and I'm not saying we should make every
+single line of code a separate element - let's just try to keep things
+into our general principle of "everything is a pipeline". :).
