+Kate is a codec for karaoke and text encapsulation for Ogg. Most of the time,
+this would be multiplexed with audio/video to carry subtitles, song lyrics
+(with or without karaoke data), etc, but doesn't have to be. A possible use of
+a lone Kate stream would be an e-book. Moreover, the motion feature gives Kate
+a powerful means to describe arbitrary curves, so hand drawing of shapes can be
+achieved. This was originally meant for karaoke use, but can be used for any
+purpose. Motions can be attached to various semantics, like position, color,
+etc, so scrolling or fading text can be defined.
