Agreed for text/plain, and also for text/x-pango-markup: if such caps are
specified, they should be respected. And the pipeline negociation mechanism
makes it useful to have precise things specified.

However, it would be nice to have a way for the user to indicate the type of
data that he wants to get out of the subtitle file. See for instance the
examples given in
http://blog.gingertech.net/2010/08/07/websrt-and-html5-media-accessibility/#WebSRT
for the (not finalized yet) WebSRT format: its payload can be plain text, text
with markup, "cue metadata" (which means practically anything: HTML, json,
etc).

It could for instance be a "raw" or a "force-content-type=text/json" property
added to the element. But anyway, the user should have some control over it
(the autodetection mechanism is nice, but there should be a way to deactivate
it).
