Exactly. If mkv was used, it would be much easier to simply add the extra subs. Which is something which slowly spreads in the DVD world. Insisting on avi forces them to make their own full releases with full encodes.
here is the thing
if a subtile file is only mux, it can be demux easily.
And fansubbers rarely/don't give away their scripts, for few reasons.

besides: compatibility over quality
