Introduction
“The WebVTT format (Web Video Text Tracks) is a format intended for marking up external text track resources. The main use for WebVTT files is captioning video content.” (WebVTT, retr. April 23 2012).
WebVTT can be used in the track element of HTML5 video. As of April 2012, browsers may not implement this, but probably some JavaScript-based HTML5 players do.

The format
The WebVTT format is fairly complex and surprisingly doesn't use XML.
Simple example (taken from the draft specification)
WEBVTT
00:11.000 --> 00:13.000
<v Roger Bingham>We are in New York City
00:13.000 --> 00:16.000
<v Roger Bingham>We're actually at the Lucern Hotel, just down the street
