No it wasn't but can be replaced by other (i.e. -dumpmpsub) .  Why there 
is no <optional> tag, so we can  put really optional stuff there and 
necessary but replaceable into <replaceable>s.

I was not tested it against /dev/null.
 I doubt if anyone will need it when one repairs subtitles. Usually you 
will finetune it by -subfps and do a conversion with changed options. 
Movie name change is more typing and if there is one movie in directory 
(common for me) you can use wildcard as well so where is the need for 
/dev/null?
The -sub option  is not necessary when MPlayer do autoload. Even if you 
have several subfiles, MPlayer will dump actual file switched by "i" (or 
whatever is it).

I am veri sure. When you play a movie, you can tune your subtitles rate 
by -subfps but when dumps, MPlayer will consider your  movie's rate and 
subs' rate are both correct and -subfps tells it you want convert from 
right rate to new.  Accordingly you must set the movie fps to match the 
old subtitle rate for correct conversion.

Ad [-subdelay] removed: I think there is right place to demonstrate this 
option there. If not, maybe we might find better place for it.
