I do appreciate it that SPE is looking into this (thanks to Paidgeek) but my vote would be to just leave them in the picture (as many films from other studios are presentet this way, too).

This is a major problem for the content produced in some countries. For example, DVDs of Bollywood movies (which is a multi billion dollar industry), mostly place subtitles on black bars. This is a major issue if you want to remove black bars (whether it is right or wrong, lot of people wants to get rid of black bars). Black bars may be removed using zoom or by using a "constant image height" display system.
It is unlikely that those studios would use blu-ray subtitle repositioning feature when authoring their disks.
So, only available option is to use player firmware to adjust the subtitle position. Thanks to Sony we may get a solution to this major issue in the near future.
