Interesting. I thought that CORS issues meant that I could only display WebVTT subtitles on web pages if both the AUDIO and the SUBTITLES were from the same domain. Turns out, that's not true - the SUBTITLES must be from the same domain, but the AUDIO can be hosted anywhere.
Which means that I should be able to add display of transcripts from anywhere - particularly since I've just cobbled-together a SRT->VTT translator.
