BD supports support text and image subs though, but either way it's another step in the process.
Does it really have to? Blu-ray spec is m2ts files, which are slight modication to .ts files, right? So although the captions wouldn't play on other standard blu-ray players, they'd play back on the device itself (since it has all the caption rendering built in anyway).
I saw a blog entry about an HD-DVD recorder that played back the captions perfectly as they originally are, so I assumed the blu-rays just store remuxed ts files.
