USF scpecs are not finalized so there is room for improvements. You can 
test against the latests unmei's proposals 
(http://usf.corecodec.org/proposal).
Unfortunatrly i'm also a bit busy with work during these weeks, so don't 
expect any updates until the end of the next week.

I'll change ChronoSub according to your suggestions as soon as possible, 
Thank you.

In ChronoSub there is no need of a [Grab] button: After you created a 
new script and opened the audio file for timing, simply select the audio 
interval of the sentence you want to sub, then write the spoken text in 
the dialogue textbox and hit Enter key (in the dialogue textbox), a new 
subtitle with the selected time interval will be added to the list, 
quite faster than having to press [Grab] everytime.
Similarly, you can change a certain subtitle's timing by selecting the 
subtitle from the grid, changing the audio start/end points from the 
waveform displayer and hitting Enter key in the text dialogue, the 
current line will be updated with the new times (or the new dialogue if 
you changed it).

PixiShow actually supports only usf, i'd like to have a good support of 
that format before expanding capabilities.But I also like to extend 
PixiShow format support to srt /ssa /ass, so it can be a valid 
alternative to VSFilter.
The road is long, and i need to work more with unmei in order to realize 
a good multiformat architecture for the renderer.
