The problem with ATSC closed captioning is that it's time-consuming to 
figure out the reordering. It's true it's not optimal to have yet 
another reordering code, but the alternative -- realistically, judging 
from the past five years -- is to have no support for closed captioning.

Since the work has been done, by someone who actually found the time to 
do it, it would be great to see this merged. If you don't merge it now, 
and don't have time to do it yourself, we'll see another five years go by.

Merge soon, merge often. Nobody has time to write all the code.
