Yes, I intend to take over since nobody else mentioned it.
However, I'd like to have an ok on the general idea.
Formats like DVD and DVB would accept a width/height of 0
since those are not defined or defined out-of-band for
these formats, though it would be possible to make use
of the values if set (e.g. to clip).
Though the clipping as done in the pgs decoder is rather
questionable, it might be desirable to allow placing subtitles
outside the movie area and thus it would be better for
the application to do clipping.
